Conflicitng Information

You might remember me talking about <a href="http://www.sarpysam.com/archives/3005-Win,-Lose.html">E coli and distillers grain</a> a few days ago. Now some conflicting information to that has come to light. It seems some scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have been experimenting with <a href="http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_page=1208&u_sid=10203501">feeding distillers grain to cattle to lower E coli levels in them</a>. They have failed in their attempts, but have also found <strong>no increase in E coli</strong> in any of their feeding practices which conflicts with the report I quoted in my earlier article.<br />n<br />nWow, so which is it? Does E coli increase in cattle fed distillers grain, or doesn't it? Seems like more research is indicated now to really determine this. Still it is quite an interesting issue to deal with here for ethanol.<br />n<br />n<strong>I read a great number of press reports and find comfort in the fact that they are nearly always conflicting.
