Ethoxyquin?

[mas]

Hi

I was doing some reading online and came across this article:

 

http://www.avianweb.com/ethoxyquin.htm and http://www.parrothouse.com/ethox.html

 

I then went to see the ingredients on the Kaytee Exact Pellets and it has that ingredient (Ethoxyquin) in it.

 

Has anyone done more research into that?

 

:huh:
