Some hydroponic growers use staggering amounts of nutrients and additives which can potentially change the nutrient values to such a degree that the food being provided to the plant becomes highly imbalanced. As a result, antagonism and/or stimulation occurs.

Learn Moreing industry has left very few small plants that will do custom poultry processing. (Large plants generally don’t process for small producers; they can’t keep track of a small batch of birds and can’t make money on small-volume orders.) This publication covers small-scale processing, both on-farm and in small plants.
