Perhaps they should study the nutritional impacts of the resulting beef before they get too far with this. Grass fed beef is much tastier and much more nutritious than feed lot fed beef.
Does feeding the seaweed reduce the need for using antibiotics required when feeding corn to cattle? That would be a real win.
- neuromancer2701 9y agoIt would be interesting to compare feedlot vs feedlot/algae vs grassfed. There is already a solution to this problem that has numerous other benefits. Revert all of the former grasslands that are monoculture fields of corn to raise grassfed beef.
- rocqua 9y agoIn what sense is grass fed beef more nutritious? It's a rather nebulous term, hence my question.
- tomohawk 9y agoEating grass provides better nutrition for the cattle, and the meat ends up with more nutrition such as omega 3s. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease/expert-answers/grass-fed-beef/faq-20058059 https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-disease... In a feed lot, cattle are fed a diet that practically requires antibiotics to keep them alive long enough to slaughter.
- learc83 9y agoThey mostly use antibiotics to promote growth. Feed lots increase risk of disease because cattle are closer together, but their diet doesn't really have anything to do with the use of antibiotics.
