Hi all, I am researching the use of earthworms for use by cattle feeders. I have found some science journal articles about the use of earthworms for cleaning up the large amounts of cattle manure that is accumulated in large feedlots, and some articles about the use of earthworm meal to feed cattle. This way earthworms can be used in 2 ways by feedlot operators. Has anyone done this? If so, what is your opinion? Was it profitable? Was it feasible? etc. Marilyn Writer specializing in science, nature, animals and environment http://world.std.com/~marilpok marilpok@world.std.com Or: 75401.1161@compuserve.com
