Before there were strict controls placed on chicken farming we used to use it regularly in the water for the chickens to promote growth and prevent infections. That was many, many years ago and the industry in Australia is now very strictly controlled and monitored.

My parents had a poultry farm for 25 years and grew approximately 140,000 chickens every 7 to 8 weeks. We ate those chickens ourselves too and that was a lot of drugs to be exposed to. We also used to wash the chicken sheds between batches with formaldehyde with no skin or lung protection. How gullible we were to believe the company we grew the chickens for when they told us we HAD to do these things and that it was safe!
