  • Do HGH work for muscle and growing taller after puberty?

  • Decreased preg. rates=because more nutrients is used 4 increased milk production, increased mastitis=increased milk production; therefore increased mammary gland production/ output and overall "use." As for antibiotics, you are correct, they are used the same as in human medicine, but cow's milk while being treated with antibiotics is withheld from sale because of drug residues (this is heavily regulated nationally).

  • Nicely put together video--larger consumer awareness is essential. A few footnotes that might be helpful though:

    The side effects listed in cows are not as negative as they sound, in fact it is logical that these side effects occur, it is the primary reason why dairymen must evaluate individual cows before administer rBST. Each "side effect" is related to reallocation of nutrients by the cow.
