(Bob's Welding) 301-829-2042 “We base our decisions on where to put the producer’s dollars on input and recommendations from producers. By improving our pro duct through research, educating consumers about today’s pork, then promoting pork, the entire pork industry will benefit,” Rosendale said. Under the Pork Act, the law that provides for the checkoff pro gram, the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) is guaranteed 25% of the checkoff dollars until October 1, 1989. These funds are used in coordination with other checkofr funds for promotions like Pork- The Other White Meat*, research and consumer education. The Pork Industry Group of the National Live Stock and Meat Board (PIG) will receive 20 per cent of the NPPC guaranteed funding through an existing arrangement between the two organizations. PIG funds ate util ized primarily in the areas of information and education of health professionals and meat sci ence research. Approximately 21 percent of the producer funds, $5.46 million, will be returned to the states for their use in promotion, research and education programs. The Board also budgeted $1.2 million for its own operating costs.

Nearly $13.6 million of the discretionary funds will be util ized by' NPPC in the areas of promotion, research, education, foreign market development, and producer communications, incliid ing $7.5 million for pork advertis ing. Pork - The Other White Meat* advertising will appear on televi sion in approximately 20 major metropolitan areas and in nearly 30 national magazines. In addi tion, more than $2 million has been earmarked for retail mer chandising programs designed to increase pork’s space in the meatcase. The PIG will use nearly $1.2 in discretionary checkoff dollars for consumer information, education, nutrition research and new pro duct development programs to enhance pork’s position as a healthful, nutritious and tasteful source of protein. Glenn Grimes, University of Missouri agriculture economist, estimates that demand for pork increased approximately 3 percent in 1987 and has increased an addi tional 3-4 percent in 1988. Pro grams funded by the checkoff, according to Grimes, may be part ly responsible for that apparent increase in demand. 0 Penzyme 42008 20 MINUTE TEST Components • 25 Enzyme vials in a plastic tray • 25 Reagent tablets in strip pack • Spring syringe with 25 disposable tips • Complete Instructions INCUBATOR FOR PENZYME 42009 4 well 120 Volt 42007 12 well 120 Volt Consistently detects residue levels of most commonly used mastitis antibiotics
