Many livestock feeds have some level of plastic in them.
- dehrmann 1y agoHay is often bound up into bales with plastic twine. Cattle happily eat bits on accident. They used to use wire, but that caused a much more serious problem for the cattle.
- giantg2 1y agoThey used to use natural twines like jute, which was better. They really don't eat much of the plastic stuff. The larger pieces of it do kill them (choking, cholic, etc).
- kylebenzle 1y agoNow we will wrap the bales in 5 to 10 lb of plastic each, so they last longer!
- CalRobert 1y agoSilage uses insane amounts of plastic wrap and then is left in direct sunlight to decay
- kylebenzle 1y agoI visited the largest pig farm in Ohio and they grind up bags of old dog food, plastic bags and everything. Literally pallets full of expired food, just dumped into the grinder. Then they spread the waste and sell it as organic fertilizer, plastic is now everything.
