| The Committee was to conclude that Japan was at high risk for having BSE and, because it made cattle feed from other (local) cattle, its feeding practice would spread the contagion.
As the Japanese government turned a blind eye, the risk assessment proved all too accurate. In early August 2001, a five-year-old Holstein from the city of Shiroi, east of Tokyo in the Chiba Prefecture, started coming down with BSE symptoms. Initially, veterinarians thought the cow's illness was septicemia stemming from a bacterial infection. | | Possible culprits are imported meat-and-bone meal or even scrapie sheep rendered into cattle feed. (Japanese farmers were not required to incinerate scrapie sheep until 1996.) Japanese officials focused on a substitute milk feed-made from skim milk powder and protein from pig and beef tallow
Although the number of sick cows in 2001 was tiny when compared with the European numbers, Japanese consumer confidence in both their food and their leaders evaporated. Shortly after the news of the first BSE cows broke, nearly 2000 schools pulled beef off the menus. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Formerly used as a treatment for the plague, goat's rue has been widely cultivated as a cattle feed. Medicinal Actions & Uses Today, goat's rue is chiefly used as an antidiabetic herb, having the ability to reduce blood sugar levels. It is not a substitute for conventional treatments but can be valuable in the early stages of late-onset diabetes, and is best used as an infusion. The herb has the effect of increasing breast-milk production. It is also a useful diuretic.
CAUTION Use as part of the treatment of diabetes only under professional supervision.

The massive vegetation on the land and in the oceans would tend to consume much of the carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas. But the precise ratio of trees-to-carbon dioxide has been dangerously altered by commercial foresting without replanting. We will discuss these phenomena in the sections that follow.
Furnaces of Industry and the Greenhouse Effect
Our planet is a carbon-based life form. | | Livestock food makers such as Purina Corporation are the world's largest because they put it in much of their animal feed: poultry feed, rabbit feed, cattle feed, as well as others. Antibiotics are in all pork; pigs are fed more antibiotics than any other animals.
Why? Because pigs are dirty; they get a lot of bacteria. Then, of course, there is the medical profession's generally acknowledged excessive and obsessive use of antibiotics. This all represents a man-made frontal assault on the human immune system. |

As cattle feed.
Barrel cacti were sometimes used as cooking pots by Indians. They remo ^ed the pulp, filled the empty cactus with water and placed red-hot stones in i: to cook meal.
All these uses are now discouraged, since it takes 50 to 100 years for a ba rrel cactus to reach maturity.
There is some controversy as to the taxonomical status of the following two genera. | | Most commonly in developed countries, the grain is used as cattle feed.
The leaves of both species are rich in hydrocyanic acid (hy-drolyzed from the glucoside dhurrine) and have poisoned livestock. The HCN content varies greatly according to diverse factors such as soil quality, available water quantity and age of the plant. It is generally believed that thoroughly dried sorghum hay is no longer toxic. Older plants, as well as the stems of younger ones, are relatively free of HCN.
Grains and stems of many other species are used as food, mostly in tropical Africa and Asia. | | Oak leaves have been employed as fertilizer and a fairly nutritious cattle feed, but livestock may develop digestive and renal disorders from browsing exclusively on oak leaves because of their high tannic acid content.
The hard wood of oak trees is highly prized for building, furniture making and paneling.
The "oak scale" (Cerococcus quercus) is an insect that lives in colonies on twigs of the scrub oaks (Q. turbinella and others - S.W. U.S., N.W. Mex.), covering them with yellow warts of wax. This wax, although very bitter, was used by Southwestern Indians as a chewing gum.

See book keywords and concepts |  When ranchers want to "beef up" their cattle, they put the steroid DES, diethylstilbestrol, in cattle feed. Steroids, whether natural in animal products or synthesized for black-market drugs, make muscles absorb more protein than normal ("beefing" them up) but also add more fat. When weightlifters beef up they think they are only adding protein to their muscles, but ranchers know that beefing up adds protein and fat — that's what well-marbled steaks are.

The stalks were crushed through a series of fluted rollers and flappers so that the hurds, the woody pith, were broken out. A series of combs and rollers brushed out the short "tow" fibers. The long fibers were then massaged enough to degum them.
The pectin coatings flaked off and were collected for industrial purposes. The final product, called the "sliver," rolled out the far end of the machine. The sliver was ready for spinning into the finest of linens. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The grain was not as high a producer as modern hybrid wheat, and so it soon went to cattle feed and was forgotten. Forgotten, that is, until 1977, when Bob Quinn, an organic wheat farmer, remembered seeing King Tut's wheat at the fair in his youth. Quinn ferreted out a single pint of the giant wheat, and named the grain kamut, which means "wheat" in Egyptian. It is available today as a grain, a whole grain flour, and in products such as breakfast cereal, bread, and pasta. |

Facts
This new sports supplement was first developed lor cattle feed In researchers at Iowa State University, but it is fast growing in popularity among two-legged animals—notably competitive athletes. HMB is a metabolite, or byproduct, of the normal breakdown in the body of the amino acid leucine, which is found in plant and animal food. HMB can enhance the effects of vigorous exercise by building muscle and reducing body fat.
Clinical trials of HMB have been very promising. |

I recommend you stay with the latter. In any event, whatever the source of your calcium supplement, look for the United States Pharmacopoeia seal of approval on the bottle. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The content of this toxin in commercial animal products may partly explain the observed association between the consumption of these animal products and the incidence of colorectal and breast cancers. cattle feed is often sprayed directly with pesticides and fungicides (cell and enzyme poisons), which we inevitably end up ingesting. Of course, nitrates are used as preservatives, flavoring, and coloring agents in cured beef and pork products like bacon, hot dogs, salami, sausage, bologna, corned beef, pastrami, pepperoni, and practically all luncheon meats. |

The committee endorsed Wilesmith's conjecture that scrapie-infected sheep offal was part of the meat-and-bone meal fed to cattle in the early 1980s and that it had caused BSE. Based on their knowledge of scrapie, the Southwood committee concluded that it was "most unlikely that BSE will have any implications for human health" and that "the risk of transmission of BSE to humans appears remote. |
Samuel S. Epstein, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Rather than resolving legislative ambiguities and stalemates, such as those allowing the continued use of carcinogenic cattle feed additives, Congress has often abdicated its authority and relegated it to regulatory agencies, using vague, value-laden terms such as "unreasonable risks" or "feasibility." The subsequent actions of the regulatory agencies are then open to challenge in the courts, as is failure to take any action. Congress has thus allowed decision-making to evolve into an uneasy triangular relationship, involving besides itself the executive and the courts. | | Over the past decade, the society has refused to endorse critical public health legislation and moves such as the Clean Water and Air Acts, and regulation of Red Dye #2, Aldrin, Tris, and the proposed FDA ban on DES in cattle feed.* Its support of the Toxic Substances Act, probably the most important single piece of legislation of the century designed to prevent exposure to carcinogenic and toxic chemicals, was perfunctory and too late to be effective. | | We also need to look particularly carefully at the growing consumption of clearly carcinogenic additives which are either deliberately added to food as coloring agents, preservatives or flavorings, or find their way indirectly into our diet through their use in plastic containers or food wrappings, in cattle feed or as pesticides. Contamination of food with these direct and indirect additives is becoming increasingly common in Britain, yet they are difficult to avoid, since information about their effects is hard to obtain and there are no adequate rules governing the labelling of foods. | | A related concern is lifelong exposure of all women to estrogenic contaminants in animal fat, because of their unregulated use as growth-promoting additives in cattle feed.
In 1977, NCI's director of endocrinology, Dr. Roy Hertz, warned, without effect, of breast cancer risks from these contaminants.
More ominous is the enthusiastic endorsement by the cancer establishment of massive nationwide expansion of X-ray mammography, including routine annual screening. | | Radiation, particularly from repeated premenopausal mammography, is likely to interact additively or synergistically with other avoidable causes of breast cancer, particularly estrogens (natural; medical; contaminants of meat from cattle feed additives; and estrogenic pesticides).
• Forceful compression of the breast during mammography, particularly in younger women, may cause the spread of small undetected cancers.
Pressured by this evidence on the ineffectiveness and risks of premenopausal mammography, NCI recently withdrew recommendations for such screening. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Both the testing procedures and regulations regarding cattle feed are ineffective. Federal meat inspectors examine less than 1 % of the carcasses being processed for consumption. Out of 900 million head of cattle, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has tested only 12,000 sick cows for mad cow disease.28 Of 5,000 feed handlers already inspected, 700 were not in compliance with regulations designed to keep rendered feed from cattle. Up to 40% of the companies were not using the required labels to identify rendered feed. And another 5,000 companies have yet to be inspected. |

"Current FDA regulations allow dead pigs and dead horses to be rendered into cattle feed, along with dead poultry. The regulations not only allow cattle to be fed dead poultry, they allow poultry to be fed dead cattle. Americans who spent more than six months in the United Kingdom during the 1980s are now forbidden to donate blood, in order to prevent the spread of BSE [Mad Cow Disease's human variant. But cattle blood is still put into the feed given to American cattle. | | Howard Lyman said that the disease could exist or be discovered in the United States, and that "we are following exactly the same path that the)' followed in England (using cattle byproducts in cattle feed)."
This did not exactly please feedlot owner and multimillionaire Paul Engler or his company, Cactus Feeders. They hired a powerhouse team of attorneys to file a lawsuit demanding $20 million in damages and punitive fines. "Get in there and blow the hell out of somebody," Engler said. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In 1985, the National Cattlemen's Association recommended against using antibiotics in cattle feed, but they're probably still being used for some cattle.
Why routine, low doses of antibiotics improve growth rates in livestock is a mystery to scientists. But the drugs do that, and more. By preventing many of the diseases that can result from confining large numbers of animals in production facilities, the routine, low-level use of antibiotics has made factory-type farming possible.6
However, the practice may also lead to serious problems for humans. |
