    Its regularly used for pig feed etc (of course it has to be pasteurised- along with any other food waste).

    Bread waste can be composted but there is a cost of approximately 70-90 Euro per tonne for this. try www.acornrecycling.com

    We feed our cattle and sheep with it. A neighbour uses 7 ton of it every week

    Its also not a good staple for sheep (they are both ruminants after all).
    I'm guessing you use it as a part-substitute for the high energy nuts. How do you prepare it? I know it has to go in the pasteuriser for pigs- I'm pretty sure you don't go to those lengths for cows and sheep?
