No, we do not use any peanuts in our kibble/canned formulations. We do however have a peanut & butter treat which is made at a different factory.

People must have heard about the nasty conditions which broiler chickens - which are bred for their meat - are raised in? These chickens have no more floor space than a sheet of A4 paper. Chickens are over-fed to reach slaughter weight in six weeks, when it would normally take four months.

Chicken manure is high in nitrogen, so it is considered "hot". It will need to be composted before putting it directly onto your garden. once it has broken down, it then becomes perfect food for the garden. A Polyphemus moth rests on the outside of the coop. Good thing! If it were on the inside, it would make a tasty snack for one of the hens.

Yes. Chicken manure has lower levels of nutrients and is not usually as thoroughly decomposed so takes longer for the plants to be able to use the nutrients. Chicken manures often contain a high percentage of sawdust.

Most chicken producers, whether organic, all-natural or conventional, use animal fat or vegetable fats and oils as a significant ingredient in their feed in order to keep their feed costs down and increase the amount of fat in the animal. Certified Organic chicken producers can use vegetable oils and vegetable fats as a feed ingredient under the National Organic program. Most producers also give their birds less than or around 6 square inches of space per bird, even other organic producers.

During a pandemic, do not come in contact with fresh droppings. Use some other manure until such time the pandemic has cleared

We chill our organic chicken using an immersion process, as do most chicken processors. Our difference is in how we cleanse our chicken, which we do by using ozonated water. Ozonated water is created by using Ozone (O?), a compound which occurs naturally in our atmosphere. When we use it as a cleansing agent, it is about 3400 times more efficient in killing bacteria than chlorine, which is the normal cleansing agent used for chicken.

The reasons why our organic chicken retains so much less water than other brands resides in what we don't do and don't have in our chicken. Our chicken has about half the fat of other chicken brands, which results in a much leaner product and higher muscle content. Fat acts as a sponge, and absorbs a lot more liquid than muscle. Fat takes up approximately 3 times the amount of space as the same weight of muscle. We also use a different cleansing process than most other chicken producers.

Yes - but they don't contain the proper calcium:meat ratio; plus they are load-bearing bones and are naturally harder (and harder on your dog's teeth over the long haul). If you DO decide to use them, you will need to supplement with additional calcium (in the form of eggshells or bonemeal). Back to top of page Many dogs have a tendency to gulp their food, without chewing, and this can be a very scary experience for an owner new to feeding raw bones.

Yes. We use organic ingredients when we can. For example, some of the organic ingredients we use are cream, butter, corn syrup, ginger, and almonds.

Chicken pox has a fancier medical name called varicella zoster. It is a virus which infects the body causing the typical illness. To understand why it is called "chicken pox" see "Why is it called Chicken Pox?".

Almost never. Except for children and adults who have immune system problems, getting chicken pox confers life-long immunity. Now, the minute I say never, someone will come up with a story about how he or one of his family got it twice. While this is a possibility, it is extremely rare. Most of the time, these stories turn out that the original chicken pox "infection" was a rash that was mistaken for chicken pox.

No. Waiora's Essential Daily Nutrients is all natural. Every vitamin, minerals, herb, fruit or blend is derived from natural sources. Since some of the fruits within the blend are derived from countries outside of the U.S. -namely Tibet and Brazil-we cannot make any organic claims about the product.

Though the body cannot use more than about 10mg. of common, water-soluble vitamin B-1 per day, benfotiamine is lipid-soluble and can safely be used at much higher levels than common vitamin B-1. Most people get excellent results in 14-21 days time using two 150mg. capsules twice per day (two in the morning and two in the evening). Benfotiamine need not be taken with meals. Some people get better results increasing the dosage to 900mg. or 1200mg. per day after the first two weeks.

You take over-the-counter or prescription drugs more than twice per week for migraine relief Otherwise for treatment, MigraSpray may be used as directed for treatment at the earliest sign of a migraine.

The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) was formed ten years ago to advise USDA on uniform standards for the production of all organic products. The NOSB Livestock Committee has developed standards for organic poultry along with the California Organic Food Advisory Board and the Organic Trade Association. Third party certifiers verify that products labeled "organic" have met these strict standards.
