We've been feeding our poultry, and pigs fermented corn slop for about a week now. They seem to be doing great on it, but I have recently been enlightened to the fact that e coli and salmonella can thrive in this type of feed. Our friend just mentioned that he has known ranchers to feed this to their livestock (not sure which kind of animals specifically) and loose them all, so now I'm very paranoid to feed this to them. On the other hand, I've been to a farm and talked with an 'old timer' that bred pigs and he fed ALL of his critters fermented corn. He had pigs, quail, chickens, guineas, and goats. He would sell the kids to buy all his corn for all of his animals. Anyways, I'm wondering if maybe I should cook it before serving it? We have a 32 gal trash can (new) with about 70# of corn with a glug of ACV and water about 4 inched above the corn level. It does not get super warm due to the colder temp, but it is inside, fairly close to the fireplace. Any thoughts or experience would be greatly appreciated!
