Cob: Earthen plaster over plywood siding?

HI- on the subject of animal blood- ( OK Vegans turn away)
I know it makes one squeamish, but what do you think happens to the
millions of gallons of blood from cows made into steaks and hamburger?
(not meaning TO START A VEGAN-MEAT EATER DISCUSSION)

Most of it- I have heard- is used in the chemical  foam that puts out
fires..the kind in big tankers at the airport--anyone know for sure?

Ox blood was used to harden earthen floors for centuries, and still is,
as is manure and dung ( same thing)

it's all a process of recycling on the earth- all parts of the animal
are used- that seems like a good thing.

and as much as I hate the thought of it, I'd like to know if blood is in
OSB board too?

anyone know?
