Can you believe some cattle growers are feeding their livestock with chicken poop? That's what journalist David Kirby reports. It is needless to say, disturbing.
Chicken manure is definitely a waste problem in this country. Nitrates and phosphates have turned out to be big pollution components. One chicken producer has developed a system to make bio-fuel from his chicken waste, but the problem is larger than most realize. The system's cost runs about $0.5M, but it can save thousands each month on power costs. I'm concerned about how quickly things can be done to mitigate pollution of aquatic systems.
