Cecil, I don't understand your response to my post. Can you take this further?
Thanks As in the above post or on the fact that feather meal is not completely indigestible as you contend?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Thanks Paul. So, it appears that feathers are abundantly available and "they" are searching for a use. The conclusion is that feather meal is not suitable for fish.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Cecil, I just didn't understand the post. Maybe I'm getting too old to understand complex ideas.

Dave Cecil was referring to his Quoted response from the Dr. Basically saying chicken feathers ARE digestable not INdigestable. And in some cases up to 60-70%
I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease.. BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.

Digestability of proteins and possibly other nutrients in chicken feathers depends of how the feathers are processed as per Dr. Mark Griffin from Purina. Proper processing including correct temperature increases digestability.

So would the processed feathers be categorized as protein on the bag's label?
Also, has anybody bought any fish food yet this year? I was curious if the prices had changed. I'm glad my CNBG don't like milk.

Yeah, but the conclusions, as I understood them, from the article that Paul(andemann) posted don't go very far in agreeing with that idea.
I personally wonder if the high cost of Menhaden might influence the need for a more affordable/marketable option. Something like Hershey Kisses now being made of corn syrup instead of chocolate.
