Interesting, but, if the goal is to isolate the cause of chickens not laying eggs, it's irresponsible to publish this article with no conclusion. The biggest TLDR?
Again, none of these numbers would be considered unsafe by US food regulators. As a food scientist, it seems doubtful to me that 2.9 ppb of aflatoxins could be responsible for chickens not laying eggs. However, I’m not an avian biologist, so I can’t answer that question with certainty. It just seems unlikely to me that this could cause chickens to stop laying eggs.
They need to show the journalistic tenacity to pursue this and ultimately nail down a cause, otherwise, this is just a fart in the wind. The absence of them nailing down the DS "deep food" players connected to these feeds, as well as anecdotal evidence that there's one feed in particular that causes this, makes this really weak stuff.
Yep. About 5% of lot #'s (1 in 20) are the cause of most of the deaths / hospitalizations. It's tuned in and consistently spaced out to be anything other than design.
It's so easy for someone to dismiss this large amount of work as useless because it doesn't conclusively provide the answer they're looking for.
Mike Adams experimentally eliminated, at least as far as this small sample can provide, the likelihood that these problems are caused by heavy metals, glyphosate, aflatoxins and other microbiology.
That narrows down the possibilities, and that is very useful.
Some are suggesting the type of protein in the feed may have been changed. That remains to be tested for, and was not a part of this set of experiments.
Thank you for saying this. Sampling these products, taking them to labs, knowing what to ask for all takes time and the tests are certainly not free. This was a noble effort on all our behalf and the information is useful.
There were plenty of posts here about how it could be glyphosate causing this. This shows that's not the case. It's a step. Nothing more. I'm just happy that somebody out there put effort into attempting to figuring it out.
TLDR: They didn't find anything.

They should solicit samples from the people whos chickens stopped laying.
Exactly!
Just like the shots. Batches vary.
