[Avodah] Chometz milking question

Subject: [Avodah] Chometz milking question

Ok, here in Israel, starting this week, all cows will be given only kitniyot
to eat - no chometz.

Around the rest of the world, they don't do that.

I have asked around and I get a blank stare from people who have never heard
that we do this, and from a few people who are mashgichim that I know (I let
them know up front that even though I live in Israel, I eat non-cholav
Israel from non-Israel products very often) I don't really get a definitive
answer. I will query some more authoritative poskim here, but I thought I'd
toss that out there as an interesting Pesach question.

My son has a supermarket in Flatbush. The other day a Russian woman was in
the store and she was
reminiscing about life in Russia, and she mentioned this, that a week before
Pesach they stoped giving Chometz
to the cows.
