Are Niman Ranch animals ever fed any animal by-products?
Niman Ranch has never fed any meat or animal by-products to its livestock. All the grains Niman Ranch feeds its livestock are fit for human consumption. The USDA banned the use of mammalian bone meal in 1997, but still allows the use of ingredients such as chicken feathers, chicken manure and fishmeal. Niman Ranch does not, and will not, use any of these in the feeding of their animals.
