Jayalakshmi Traders Autonagar In order to meet the high demand for grain from industrial food animal operations, large corn and soy monocultures Ghave replaced many smaller farms, which rely on the heavy use of pesticides. Pesticides have been shown to “bioaccumulate” (or build-up) in the fatty tissues of animals, potentially exposing consumers to these chemicals via consumption of food animals that have consumed grains treated with these chemicals, even when care is taken to eliminate contamination during processing. F Exposure to pesticide has been shown to negatively affect reproductive, nervous and immune system functions, as well as increase the risk of developing cancer. F
Cows are natural ruminants, which means that they are able to digest the cellulose in grass because of their multi-chambered digestive tracts. F Because ruminants' digestive systems are not designed for grain, cattle raised on grain can develop severe health problems, including liver abscesses, bloat, and sudden death syndrome.
