Facebook user Amanda Murungi publicly posted a video on 14 December 2025 that left many viewers confused at first glance. In the clip, the woman was seen laying slices of bread across the ground in her backyard until the space was completely covered. The unusual sight immediately raised questions about what the bread was being used for and why so much of it was spread outside.
As the video continued, it became clear that the bread was not being wasted but used as feed for livestock. The woman practices small-scale farming and repurposes bread to support her animals, showing a creative and resourceful approach to feeding. Using bread as animal feed is something some farmers do to reduce waste and cut costs, especially when sourced in bulk.
