[QUOTE="born2run, post: 130700, member: 2498"] Monsanto is still manufacturing "Posilac" BST. Are they the only one who makes it? Just curious. As far as the effects it has on a herd, what I saw was this: Overall health of the cow downslid. They were underweight, and their life expectancy was basically cut in half. I just can't see what it benefits these huge operations, but I thought maybe I was missing the real picture. My boss talks about how jumpy the cows are when you start giving it on a regular basis, and your post only confirmed that. My dad also had a problem w/ cows aborting when he started using it, which concerned Monsanto greatly. They sent out reps twice to try to see what was going on. Although they claimed their product wasn't causing the abortions, I still don't discount that possibility. [/QUOTE]
