Abstract
A METHOD for reducing the fall-out content of milk has been investigated. This is a preliminary report on the results obtained in a short-term study in this area. There are to-day commercially available ‘grass incubators’ which hydroponically germinate various grains to be used as a substitute for fresh pasturage. It is claimed that the product of these incubators fed to cattle on dry lot maintains the cows in a high production of superior-quality milk to an extent which makes the purchase of such incubators economically desirable. The increased use of these feeding systems in this area raised the question to us concerning the effect this substituted diet may have on the radioactive content of milk.
