I will tell you my catfish production story. Years ago I worked with
the son of an egg producer. Eggs being cheap then as now, they had to
produce eggs as efficiently as they could. Chicken feed being
expensive, and chickens being relatively inefficient processors of
feed, my coworker's family collected and fed their waste back to the
chickens. This produced a lovely rich yellow yolk, but some
governmental busybody forbade the practice. To avoid wasting the
waste, the business owner installed giant tubs filled with what would
be marketed as "farm-raised" catfish under the chickens.
