Subject: RE: Dairy Farmers, new somatic cell count regulation


SC KY		Ed, this is not a regulation. The law is still set at 750000. The new limit is being set by all the manufactures that are in agreement to match the world wide limit in case they want to sell in the world wide market. According to USDA 51 percent of the milk is produced by farms of over 1000 cows and 23 percent is of farms with over 2000. The pressure is being put on smaller farms to comply with this new standard. A lot of the larger farms are feeding TMR's. Which include an antibotic that is for "feed effiency" which is approved by FDA.
