Re: [GZG] Shipping sheep

We are supposing that the chickens would be raised, kept in the same
conditions they are today. Yes, you would likely need to have them
housed in
a warehouse style, but the effects of the chickens byproducts could be
minimized chemically or enzymatically.

If you assume that advances in chemical and enzyme treatments go along
with
that of space travel and technology, then it's not hard to assume you
can
collect and neutralize the waste of the chickens and keep it odorless.
In
fact, the chicken waste products could be worked into a station/colony's
power supplies and reclamation systems. Bird droppings are pretty
mineral
heavy (depending on diet) and  good source of potassium nitrate. Heck,
chicken egg shells can be used as a calcium supplement simply by baking
them, crushing them up, and mixing them into food.
