KNF Food for Livestock/Animals
The answer
From the KNF library
The library says KNF has practices for livestock, mainly pigs and chickens. (Student's Manual, Basic Course, p. 8) Fermented plant juice is non-toxic and edible. Drake says Cho's sugar-based methods are safe enough to feed livestock. (Office Hours Ep. 36, 1:14:09)
On pigs, Drake says not to feed JMS. Feed pig food fermented with IMO4 and KNF protectors instead. (Office Hours Ep. 31, 1:04:23)
Animals also work inside the system. IMOs applied to pen surfaces create a beneficial microbial environment. (Student's Manual, Basic Course, p. 8) Animals compost food waste in 24 to 48 hours and turn their pens into deep litter that builds the best IMOs. (Office Hours Ep. 3, 11:14)
The library does not say whether plant hormones do anything for animal growth or health. It also gives no rates for feeding FPJ to livestock.
