Countdown to Monsanto defenders & HMO lovers......
They’ll be here in 3...2...1...
I guess I would want to know whether he was feeding them fishmeal and GMO soybeans before and just switched to the non-GMO to get the effect?
Or did he add in fishmeal and was that the confounding effect?
It’s the people who work with the animals who know best. Always. If this turns out to be true, and not an anti-gmo nut, then people really need to be taking a hard look!
“The widespread illnesses were burdening the farm with extra costs, including medical costs to deal with rampant stomach problems. Following 12 months of GM-free feed, Mr Pederson now uses half of the national average of antibiotics, compared to above average usage prior to the feed conversion. The savings made by reducing medicinal use by two-thirds was sufficient to cover the extra expense of GM-free feed which has totalled 28,500 DKr. Further, with an extra 1.8 piglet weaned per sow, and 12 less sows dying from stomach problems per year, the farm is making an extra profit of 250,000 DKr a year, translating to roughly an extra £55 per sow.”
Capitalism at work!

Hmmm, you know...maybe we should just let God do that...
Monsanto is the closest thing to a corporate manifestation of Satan that you can achieve on Earth.
If this can happen to pigs that eat GM corn, imagine what it is doing to humans, even now?
replacing them with fishmeal and non-GM soybean instead
My observation is that as we have increased yields of crops, oil and protein content have been decreased. It may be that he was not preparing a good feed.
Too much going on here to point at GM.

Without modern crop genetics last year; the 100 degree heat in the Midwest would have cooked the corn and soybean crops.
How many millions of deaths would be acceptable so the anti science people would be happy?
Same junk science as global warming.
Interesting.
