Thank you for your comment.
If antibiotics...Hello! Thank you for your comment.<br /><br />If antibiotics are detected at all, the milk is not accepted.<br /><br />As for the other tests, let me assure you - farmers aren't trying to sneak antibiotics into milk. No farmer wants to provide anything less than the best quality, cleanest, and healthiest product. It's not just a monetary reason - it's a moral one.<br />Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127902000013698805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199031291075236240.post-67132092358426307362012-08-19T08:06:33.419-04:002012-08-19T08:06:33.419-04:00Carla,

On an organic farm no antibiotics are used AT ALL therefore there can not be any antibiotics that test under the allowed limits. <br /><br />Traditional farms dry treat their cows with antibiotics to help them prepare for calving. When they are milked after calving the milk is withheld from the milk tank for a period of milkings. Say 4. Well at milking 5 there still could be antibiotics present just not at a level that would be detected.<br /><br />Also, not all antibiotics are tested - there are new antibiotics that are not being tested by traditional tests (see link below).<br /><br />Most traditional milk is pooled with other producers milk, therefore one can never be sure of what other antibiotics other farmers are using.<br /><br />http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/foodsci/ext/pubs/antibioticresidues.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6199031291075236240.post-68997153330502799702012-08-14T08:54:09.171-04:002012-08-14T08:54:09.171-04:00What a great letter to the editor!
