feeding sprouted grain to cattle

[Guest guest]

The little farm where I get raw milk produces a general pamphlet on raw milk,

and in it it says that grain feeding should be avoided at all costs, but if

it must be done, the grain should be sprouted.

Has anyone heard of feeding them sprouted grain or how this affects CLA

levels compared to unsprouted grain?

animals, for serpents and for demons. The thought of them and the sight of

them make the tears of the saint flow. And this immense and intense

compassion, which flows from the heart of the saints, makes them unable to

bear the sight of the smallest, most insignificant wound in any creature.

Thus they pray ceaselessly, with tears, even for animals, for enemies of the

truth, and for those who do them wrong. "

I always thought animals eating sprouted grains of wheat and oats, etc would be

similar (not exactly) like eating the new grass in the spring. I do not know

about the CLA levels, but...

Have you ever read The Contrary Farmer by Gene Logsdon? He talks about feeding

chickens sprouted grains and how they grow wonderfully and how the meat tastes

so good.

When i used to have chickens, i would throw them the leftovers of my

wheatgrass trays after i juiced it, and they would peck out the wheat

sprouts and devour them, and i always noticed the eggs were particularly

good after that, chris
