That is also true. I forgot that this is a practice in the US.

That is good to know. However, poultry litter is allowed to be fed to beef cows, and is a known factor in the cause of botulism in cattle, and is a risk in the case of H5N1. And with regulatory agencies being dismantled, it would not be a far stretch to see farmers return to the previous practice.
