Dr. Sina McCullough said that cows that eat crops sprayed with glyphosate as a desiccant to remove moisture and prevent mold produce manure that contains residue of the glyphosate that contaminates soil, even in organically grown crops and food. She mentioned a case about crops grown in chicken manure that had high levels of glyphosate that disrupted the crops from absorbing certain minerals like copper, manganese and zinc via a disruption of the shikimate pathway that is part of the metabolic system of a plant. Disruption from glyphosate can alter the plant and can ultimately prevent plants from synthesizing proteins and can lead to their death.

 

Joel Salatin explained that glyphosate  can affect microbes in soil, but the good news is that there appears to be a way to remediate the destruction caused by glyphosate. Microbes can consume and neutralize other pollutants, too.

Dr. McCullough said that a number of dairy cows die from botulism. A researcher from Germany used the juice from live sauerkraut in the feed of dairy cattle, and it degraded the glyphosate in the cows’ rumen, preventing the overgrowth of the clostridium botulinum that was causing the botulism.

An experiment using sauerkraut juice in the fields on feed crops resulted in an increase in the corn yields. In a similar dairy study, there was a significant increase in milk production.
