Traditionally, most gardeners don't put cow poop in a garden. The reasoning
is the hay in their diet. They don't want to weed out the consequential
seeds in the hay spawning unwanted growth.

E-coli is spread to meat in butchering from the internal part of the
digestive tract of the animal. Sanitation is always important. Segregation
of internal contents of the digestive tract from the meat is just as
important. Its more common with chickens. But, exists with cattle as well.


Maybe some one can address "worming" in horses. I read once that the
medicines that kill worms in horses guts will also kill them in the
ground. The gist of the article was that if you are buying horse manure,
find out first if the horse(s) have been recently de-wormed.

I'd appreciate a response from any one who could talk authoritatively to
this subject.

In response to the second paragraph of Dioclese's response, this is why
there are laws that limit the fecal (FECAL) content in our food (How
much fecal content are you comfortable with?). At a poultry "processor",
75,000 to 90,000 birds are "processed" a night. At over 180 birds a
minute, some things get by the killing crew.

Animals have to die for us to eat meat, but they don't have to be
tortured first (factory farms). Living conditions have changed little in
the push to "organic" meat. The difference is in the fodder and the
withdrawal of antibiotics.

I recommend that you try to find a source of humanely raised meat, and
eat less of it.
