Michelle,
I got one response from the list (so far), and this is it:
Quote:
Whenever I have a question, I always look to nature. I think most
wild animal mothers eat the placenta so it wouldn't be normally
available for the diet of other animals and not often for the mother.
I think she eats it for reasons other than nutrition.

When thinking on this, I figure that the mother eats the placenta as part of her clean-up process, so as not to attract scavengers. ??? For my thoughts, there are too many other sources than to go with this - even if someone I trusted told me it's OK! I mean, I can
barely feed green tripe. That's some naaaaaaaaasty smelling stuff!
