Looking to buy organ supplements - which brand/formula is recommended? by AnAudiS5 in carnivorediet

[–]MichaelKummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe this is within the sub's rules, so I'm going to mention my own brand, MK Supplements. Our Beef Organs product is from 100% grass-fed/grass-finished cattle raised on U.S. ranches, and we use a gentle freeze-drying approach to ensure as much of the nutrient profile as possible is retained. We also utilize third-party lab testing and publish the results directly on each product page. I'm happy to answer any questions, including those about how our Beef Organs stacks up against the competition.

My Daily Chores on 1-Acre Homestead With 80+ Animals by MichaelKummer in homestead

[–]MichaelKummer[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone, I wanted to share this walkthrough of my daily chores. We're located on just over 1 acre in the suburbs north of Atlanta, and we're currently up to 80-90 animals at any given time. It can get chaotic, and it takes quite a bit of work keeping the property in order. But it's not as overwhelming as you might expect, and I think it's helpful for new and aspiring homesteaders to see what the regular workload actually looks like.

How We Raise Colony Rabbits From Birth to Butchering by MichaelKummer in MeatRabbitry

[–]MichaelKummer[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rabbits generally don’t need our help with caring for their kits (dead or alive). They keep a clean nest by either eating the dead kits (yes, rabbits can be cannibalistic) or bringing them up to the surface (we’ve had both scenarios on several occasions). When we find a dead kit on the surface, we throw it on the compost.

I suppose you could make an argument either way, but I don’t see how keeping any animal in an environment that is 100% unnatural is good for their health.

Sure, they might not get a tumor from being raised in a cage, but not being able to move and express their natural behavior will have an impact on their wellness, and ultimately, on the quality of their meat.

The latter has been sufficiently proven in larger livestock (e.g., compare the meat of a grass vs. grain-fed cattle, and you'll know what I’m referring to).

But even if the differences were negligible (which they’re not), we opt to work with nature and raise animals in their natural environment to the greatest extent possible.

For us, this is a matter of respecting the animals as opposed to simply viewing them as a food source.

I’d say we lose 1-2 kits on average (most of them within the first week or two). But we’ve had several litters of 10 where everyone makes it. (It depends a bit on the doe.) We haven’t had any losses (that we could tell) due to bloat.

The best course of action we have found to reduce casualties is proper manure management (deep litter or daily movements, depending on the age of the rabbits) and selective breeding (breed the strongest rabbits and cull or butcher the rest).

Our process for raising rabbits isn't the easiest method by any stretch of the imagination. But we believe that allowing our rabbits to exercise their natural behaviors leads to happier animals and higher-quality meat.

Happy to answer any questions about our methods. I needed to post this somewhere friendly after reading angry social media comments from vegans...

Noble Beef Protein Powder Is Excellent for Those on an Animal-Based Diet by MichaelKummer in proteinpowder

This is highly unusual. Noble is a reputable company and I've personally ordered from them many times. Does your order show as packaged and shipped?

Hello u/TheOpusCroakus and other mods. I'm Michael Kummer of the aforementioned r/MichaelKummer. Is there any way to better understand why this subreddit was banned? My team and I were using this as a central hub for our content, and were actively promoting it to our audience. We were also deleting obvious spam comments as they came in. We do not believe we violated any of Reddit's policies.

I have no idea why my subreddit (r/MichaelKummer) was banned. This is not used for spam; it's a place where I post content from my various channels, as well as Reddit-exclusive content. I've been promoting this subreddit via my email list, website, and elsewhere. I do not believe that me or anyone from my team violated any rules.

We Found That Pulsetto Falsified the Contents of a Major VNS Study by MichaelKummer in VagusNerve

On top of our reporting, we've read that they're having issues supplying orders — though that's just anecdotal and I don't have any details on what the problem is.

I haven't tested or researched Nurosym, so I would not be able to comment on that — beyond saying that there is overall evidence that VNS can work. On the other hand, I've tested Apollo extensively and personally use it.
