Animals and birds in cages have little movement. The digestive <br>system is working satisfactorily. Charcoal absorbs the gas in the <br>stomach. Poultry or pig cease to feel the pressure of gases. They eat <br>more. They gain weight faster. They get sick less. It has been known in <br>the Soviet Union. Many businesses were added to the coal feed. Russian <br>women in the villages make charcoal chickens and pigs and now. There <br>were papers on the subject. This tradition has been lost in modern <br>Russia at the state level, but is known to peasants.<br>Thanks,<br>Yury Yudkevich. charwood@rambler.ru<br><br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Stoves mailing list<br><br>to Send a Message to the list, use the email address<br>stoves@lists.bioenergylists.org<br><br>to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page<br>http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/stoves_lists.bioenergylists.org<br><br>for more Biomass Cooking Stoves, News and Information see our web site:<br>http://www.bioenergylists.org/<br><br></div></body></html>
