Yeah I probably should have, thanks for those links.

The existence of products designed to inject B12 is different to what I interpreted the person who I replied to was saying though.

I understood them as saying that farms are injecting B12 into animals so that meat gains some kind of nutrient that isn’t naturally occurring or not occurring at an appreciable level.

I have no doubt animals have all kinds of vitamin deficiencies and receive supplements to improve the over all health of the animal and the nutritional value of meat.

But is this the reason they are injecting B12?

Obviously I’ll read more on it.

EDIT: so the very first link basically confirmed what I just said, when an animal is deficient in B12 farmers inject it to make it more healthy. They aren’t injecting B12 into animals because animals just don’t have B12…
