Infusion of udders of dry cows with the proper antibiotic or chemotherapeutic agent will be possible when proper infor- mation Is available through testing and recording. The currently excessive use of antibiotics in the control of mastitis will be appreciably re- duced. The volume of mastitis milk on the market will be re- duced. These aspects will serve the interests of public health. It Is reasonable to assume that following the advent of a convenient test, e.g., Gel Test, to detect the presence of high cellular milk that standards for this property may be set. These standards would require the continued surveillance of a milking herd by means of a test for the detection of leu- cocytes. If and when these things come to pass, the program will serve another purpose--a guide creates a dangerous situation. After intrainammary infus- ion, antibiotics may be found in the milk in varying concen- trations for :as long as, three days. Consumption of such milk hes been blamed for some al- lergies in humans so that the subsequent use of these anti- biotics' to control a disease in 'the sensitive individual may cause complications, This will take place either at the owner's farm, convenient farm in the area or at the Health Unit Laboratery in the office at QederiCh.

"Proces- sors, too, are an integral part of today's food industry," said Mr. Stewart, "Their inclusion on the council should provide them with the benefits of the producers' opinions, the con- sumers' tastes, and the distri- butors/ requirements. Real- istic consultation between these groups can be a most effec- tive instrument in developing policies which will serve the best interests of not only the farmer or primary producer but the general public as well."
