REDUCTION OF THE RADIOACTIVE CONTENT OF MILK BY A FEEDING PROCEDURE
ABS>Preliminary results are reported from an investigation of a method for reducing the fall-out content of milk. Cattle on dry lot were fed the product of commercially available grass incubators which hydropenically germinate various grains to be used as a substitute for fresh pasturage. Cows in an experimental group fed 20 pounds of incubator feed daily in addition to their usual hay and grain diet gave milk with an average of 38% less cesium-137 than that from cows on green pasturage.
