Their names are not available to the public, to the cooperatives, or to the processors. Their names are not available to anyone, except us and them,” he said. As far as bam inspections, Posilac is an over-the-counter drug and, while it requires refrigeration, there is no need to keep the pro duct in the bam. Furthermore, there is no test that can iden tify the difference between milk coming from a treated or an untreated cow. The company intends to continue its 24-hour telephone ordering service direct to Monsanto. Callers who place an order are given a pre-approved account number and the product is shipped to them within two days. The company is also offering an introduc tory special on the product, for minimum orders of 50 doses and/or an order that reflects one dose per milking head. The special offer is in effect until May 4. For those who receive the product through a carrier, the cost of shipping is paid by th • purchaser. Card said that followup research on the product the most researched prc duct submitted for FDA approval, according to reports. Card said that currently a cow has been on a lactation using Posilac for 1,200 days with a daily milking production of SO to 60 pounds. He said that cow was one that was on a trial and has been continued in order to determine the product’s effect in a long-term, continu ous application. He said that while some cows naturally continue extended lactations, this is the longest continuous lactation using Posilac. Most of the cows used in field trials of Posi lac have been on the product for four lacta tions, Card said, adding that many are getting ready to go into fifth lactation. 1.140 73,520 64.4 18,480 3.67 679 3.19 590 318 12.76 7.62 4.26 1.54 .29 2,359 7,580 2,123 15,093 55 577 90 232 16 917 1,441 1:2.4 4.97 354,174
