• Inspectors have generally not
debited dairymen for storage of
such products as topical medica
tion, vitamins, minerals, saline or
aspirin in the dairy bam.
The purpose of this regulation
is to reduce the risk of inadvertent
contamination of milk supply with
non-lactating cattle medicine or
non cattle-approved products. If a
dairyman is in doubt about current
enforcement of this regulation in
his area, he should contact his
approved sanitarian.
Practitioners need to properly
label dispensed drugs, maintain
records of drugs dispensed and
their directions, and advise clients
on proper storage of medications.
