Hi-tech drug `puts more pus in milk' From: The Independent - London | Date: October 20, 1994| Author: SUSAN WATTS, Science Correspondent | Copyright 1994 The Independent - London. Provided by ProQuest LLC.Copyright information

MILK from cows given a genetically engineered drug to raise their yield contains more pus than does milk from those not treated, according to a report published today.

The authors, three British researchers, re-analysed data from eight trials conducted in the late Eighties and funded by Monsanto, the chemicals company that produces a commercially available version of the drug, called Posilac. This is an artifical version of a growth hormone found in cattle, bovine somatotropin (BST).
