[RC] FW: E coli in horse manure? - Mike Sherrell-----Original Message----- From: Michael Sherrell [mailto:mikeold@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, September 21, 2006 10:47 AM To: Jean; mike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: FW: E coli in horse manure? Dr. Cliver, I believe you are the professor quoted in Sunday's New York Times on the contamination of greens with E. Coli via animal waste. Could you tell me if horse manure is likely to be a dangerous carrier of E. coli? I ask because of two reasons -- first, we have a small herd on our property, and second, I often ride among farms and wonder if I should be concerned about contaminating the fields.

Mr. Sherrell: Other than in the figurative sense, my experience with horse manure is limited. However, my impression is that the reservoir of this kind of E. coli is ruminants, which does not include horses. I hope! With best wishes, Dean Cliver -- Dean O.
