SNC 2024 Session 2: Ken Hamilton

[@James-ol2fr]

I did not know about Ken Hamilton and his work before this interview. Thank you to all for coming together to offer this free information! I'll be looking at Ken's research as much as I can noe that I have this new "discovery."

[@Sparklingornon]

I have to thank Ed Bourgeois for making me aware of this recording. Superb information. Thank you all for sharing your knowledge.

[@ajoshmiller]

Great video and information! Thanks for sharing this with us. I'm also curious as to the omega 6:3 ratio of milk from grain fed cows. We buy raw milk from a local friend and now I'm rethinking this strategy, as we grass feed our cows, but don't milk them (too much work).

[@woodlyz]

This was incredible.

[@MicrobeMomma]

Yes!

Ken is absolutly the elo. Musk of agriculture if you get the chance please let him guid you in you crop production

Dan if you find your life puts you in a position of rushing Mr Hamilton beware, before you know it you may be using a heat mat and paper towel to start your seeds. Might be time for you to sit down and take stock of where your life is heading. All kidding aside, much appreciation and inspiration from the work you are doing.

They only touched on it briefly but what is the general affect on health from omega-9 fatty acids? Part of my feed for my chickens is crushed hazelnut which is generally higher in monounsaturated fat in the form of oleic acid 75-80%. Where do these fats fit in the 1:1 for omega 3 and 6? 1:1:?

USING Multi-Species Forage for "Grass Fed" Beef, Chicken, Pork etc.... makes for much better tasting Meats.... COMPARED TO MONOCULTURE PASTURES for Grass Feeding (like All "Orchard Grass" pastures). Cooking meats using a Sous Vide System (vacuum packed meat cooked under water @ 130° to 150° for ~ an hour - unattended)... makes the meat very tender. Requires a minute or 2 searing to make it "charred" looking. If the animal is properly "Grass Finished" & the right Breed was selected (not bred for Grain Feeding - like most Black Angus).... the taste is WONDERFUL.

[@DocSiders]

Does..... the "SPROUTING - then - FERMENTING".... Process.... produce the EPA & DHA fats that we NOW only get from Marine Sources? I awaited that CRUCIAL information...and it never came.

[@lyudmylasharma7768]

A friend asked me the same thing, so here is a relevant portion of my response to him: '...the guy in the video mentioned fermentation under anaerobic conditions. There are only two readily culturable microorganisms known to produce DHA or EPA in such conditions: a filamentous fungus, Mortierella alpina and Yarrowia lipolytica (a genetically modified yeast). In Korean Natural Farming, all grain for chicken and pig feed is sprouted and then briefly lactofermented - a practice known to improve feed conversion rates by up to 25%, but no reports indicate that it can affect Omega 6:3 ratios. He mentioned lactobacilli and bifidobacteria, but no species of these bacteria are able to produce omega-3 fatty acids (unless there is a genetically modified strain that has not been reported the yet). However, they may be able to enhance the bioavailability of DHA and EPA from flax and chia seeds and hay, but without predominantly fresh grass diet I can't see how the announced Omega 6:3 ratios can be achieved in meat. Moreover, in ruminants lactic and propionic acids ( produced during lactobacilli and bifidobacteria mediated fermentation of sprouted grain, silage and haylage) may contribute to acidosis unless balanced with fiber rich forages...''

All summer I sprouted wheat, barley, oats, and flax seed and then fermented the grass in EM/LAB that i had dissolved fish @ 3 pounds a gallon. I made the EM/LAB, Then threw 150 pounds of fish into a 55 gallon barrel. My chickens loved it. They ate half as much too. There is less than 1% of microbes that have been studied, Just make some EM/LAB. This guys microbe mix won't do anything home made EM will. Make your own EM/LAB, It will do the same thing as his expensive gallon jugs. I make seaweed EM/LAB and pour that in with the fish EM/LAB. If I bought the fish EM/LAB it would of cost 2,000 to do my 56 pasture chickens, I made it for $50. There is hundreds of videos showing how to make EM/LAB.

[@DocSiders]

Sprouted Grain Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio is STILL OVER 6:1. Does fermentation OF SPROUTED GRAIN produce any EPA/DHA... AND reduce the Omega-6:Omega-3 Ratio?

[@remmahneb]

Kinda sounds like brewing beer

[@Tom-wm6jr]

Wow mankind has only existed for 6000 years huh
