Step aside bugz, soyslop-fed pythons coming soon🤢
'The research team trialed groups of pythons on different "sausages" of waste protein from meat and fish off-cuts, and found intensive feeding of juveniles prompted fast growth rates with no apparent welfare impacts.
Despite pythons being solely carnivorous in the wild, they could digest soy and other vegetable protein, and some sausages included about 10% vegetable protein, hidden among the meat.
..."We showed that snake farms can effectively convert a lot of agricultural waste into protein, while producing relatively little waste of their own."'
