Automatic, heated waterers are par ticularly helpful during the winter. Specialized livestock and poultry feeds must be approached with caution. Check the labels to be sure the feed is not laced with growth hormones, antibiotics, or other drugs. Today, virtually all farm animal breeds have been genetically altered for faster growth, larger size, and higher production. This is very harmful for the animals and leads to high mortality rates, diseases, and injuries.
