we danced around this question quite a big at OG. I don't think there's any
definitive answer.
"Know your animals' would be helpful. Horses for riding or just good
company are potentially a lot less medicated than cows (very low nutrient
poop anyway) or chickens.
Obviously, manure from organically raised animals would be the best.
Here's a little primer on the different types and their 'ratings':

Subject: [Community_garden] Medicated Manure
Hey everybody,
Manure from horses, cows and other rhuemanids are a valuable resource to
gardening, especially an organic garden. However one concern with using this
manure is the antibiotic/steroid residues that get passed through such
animals, and end up fertilizing our vegitation. Does anyone know of any
methods that can 'purify' medicated manure , or any research that they can
refer me to? I've tried looking at some scientific journals but the
terminology is a bit heavy. Can someone put the stuff in laymens terms?
Peace, Love and Justice
