Animals that produce round p**p...yes this is conservation!?

Question

Hello I just answered a question in zoology, about "why is goat p**p round?"

From all the smarty answers the asker recieved, I realized it was actually an important answer, and people need to be better educated, so they can make better choices for their dinner table!

Goats, rabbits, sheep, alpacas, llamas, deer, elk, ect all produce round p**p. All of these animals are highly efficient at squeezing all the moisture out of their food, for most of their water intake needs. This squeezing effect produces the round p**p.

Round manures are "cold" manures and can be applied directly to gardens with no harm to the delicate new plants.

Animals like horses, cows, pigs & chickens must have their p**p composted for a year or TWO or it will burn the plants.

Round p**p animals are much more efficient at extracting the nutrition from their feed.

So to be more earth friendly, would you concider eating more goat, sheep, and rabbits?

Answer 1

Er, no. All meat takes more energy to produce than vegetables chicken takes twice as much energy, beef takes seven, and the rest are inbetween.

Switching to a vegan diet is better for the environment than switching from a SUV/light truck to a hybrid.

Yes, I know, first we're taking away your cars, now we're taking away your food. Where will this conspiracy to undermine the American way of life end?

Just thought I'd save someone else posting it.

Answer 2

So...is it the "shape" of the p**p or the fact that it is uniformly formed?  B/c horse p**p from a properly fed horse looks like large brown Darvocets...uniform shape/consistency.

I know it is too hot for the garden the first year out, but the following season, it's great fertilizer.

Answer 3

Goat is a bit greasy, but I like the taste.  Rabbit is similar to chicken, mutton (sheep) is good if you cook it correctly.  I wouldn't mind eating more of it, but that doesn't help with being earth friendly--how can they p**p if they're dead?  I don't have a place to raise these animals for manure production, but if I ever do, I will raise a few rabbits for my own garden.

Answer 4

I agree about fowls , chicken , turkey not using for fertilizer. Due the amonia inside the droppings gives it the potent burning effect on plant roots. I've used fresh cow, horse, rabbit droppings on my gardens and it produces fabulous plants. I guess horses, cows and rabbits don't have as much ammonia in them.
