Oregano is not as odd as it sounds; my best student of the mid 1990s, who’s now an ARNP in NJ and just saved her husband’s life by diagnosing a heart defect the local cardio doc missed, swears by it as an alternative to the basic antibiotics.
A brief but ugly life; however, having had chickens once in my long-ago earth mother past, and having dealt with the “organic” Amish and their practices, I’d say it has always been thus.
And at least we don’t have to chop their heads off anymore. The children, little ghouls that they are, were always ready to be there when my husband did in our latest crop of chickens. If it weren’t for human beings eating them, chickens would rule the world, even more than cockroaches.
That said, I’m glad they’re trying other methods of feeding them, because a lot of herbal things (oregano and rosemary, for example) are very effective and don’t overdose you on antibiotics that you might need at some point in your life.
Democrat Party convention???
And the rate of food-borne illness skyrockets.
Not sure I like this.
CFA knuckled under? Geesh.
I worked in the chicken industry and a hatchery years ago. The grower is required by the supplier of the chicks, to provide enough space so each chicken has several square feet to himself. In this the chickens appear to be bunched up in one end of one house. Bet there is a large amount of clear space behind the person taking the video.
IMHO, Bojangles has the best chicken. The chicken breasts at Bojangles are twice the size of KFC. And Bojangles is far tastier and juicier too.
I doubt they are using leaf oregano. Oregano essential oil is more likely. It does have antibacterial properties according to several studies done on the oil.
No gub’mint regulations required - if the Free Market demands it, it will happen.
The authors seem to believe oregano is being used for antioxidants, when in fact it’s a potent antimicrobial. Oil of oregano is excellent for infections.
I’m not a peta, tree hugging, environmentalist, but there’s no way to raise chickens in those huge barns, where they have to wallow in each other’s filth 24/7, and expect them to be safe for consumption, without antibiotics. I’d feel a lot better about it, if I thought they would give them more space. If I tried to raise chickens in my backyard the way they do, Animal Control would come and take my birds away.
