Prions In Poultry Manure

By Robert Harris, on 03/15/2003.

We own and operate a certified organic farm in SW. Ohio.
Poultry Manure from the Industrial Poultry farms is used
on some organic farms and on many conventional farms. I
understand the Poultry Industry feeds meat and bone meal
which might contain Prions as a part of the feed. I am
concerned that we might be spreading prions with the
manure. I like to see tests run on this material.I'd
be open to suggestions to getting these tests.
Thank You in Advance RKH.
