Not necessarily once processed to thst state and in the amounts we use.

We're talking several thousand gallons in a small water source at once like how dairy's get rid of any holding waste. Or used to, not sure what regulations govern them now.

There was a big goo hah in the US about it and the problem during Covid was it being sprayed em mass into fields and working its way into water ways. I can only go by what I read in reports / news etc.

Correct though they don't just dump truck loads of stuff into rivers, but it gets there and is an acknowledged problem

Iirc the biggest issue with milk in waterways is something to do with milks effect on friendly bacteria in water treatment works. From a poor memory im sure it kills the bacteria which helps to clean the water.

Milk has to be disposed of under cat 3 rules as it's an animal by product. Criminal offence to tip it down your sink for businesses at least. It has a higher BOD than silage and slurry. But you won't cause any problems putting a ton of condensed milk in some spod mix. You'd need loads, like salt, to do damage.

And yet in most cases it is permissible to recycle it on the farm it is produced on ie feeding it through live stock, spraying onto farm land.

This is all fascinating stuff.

Not sure how much "dusting" anything would cloud up the water Tbh. Not a great deal I'd guess. You'd be better with a very wet soupy groundbait mix to do that, or add a tin of carnation like mentioned to spod mix
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
