tion every 14 days, starting when
the cow is in her ninth week of lac

cents per cow per day.
Estimates on increased produc

several days of the first injection,

to IS pounds per cow per day.
Monsanto has suggested using a 9

increased production.
Also, without providing details,
a 5- to 6-pound increase is neces-

to Monsanto.
The company also has
announced that, once the montor

wish to have their herds inspected
for whatever concerns they may
have with regards to tierd health
and the use of Posilac.

Ford has created a worksheet for
dairy producers by which they can
get an idea of the amount of profit,

using the product
According to Ford, the amount
of return for outlay may very well

which could affect the profitability
of using the product are many and
the industry too diverse to say that
