A major factor in dose assessment is the exposure of milk to fallout and the milk consumption of the population. The PATHWAY Model was originally developed with technical coefficients to fit the agriculture, dairy farming practices and milk distribution of the Three-County (Iron, Washington and Lincoln) Area. In order to use the PATHWAY Model for additional regions it is necessary to define for those regions the relevant coefficients that are different from the Three-County Area. The data that is first necessary is the length of the pasture season: time on pasture and off pasture and the percentage of feed obtained from pasture as well as any supplemental feeds. The number of cuttings of hay and the time of cutting is needed, as well as the time for cutting silage if silage is fed. The information gathered from the regions of interest has been written up separately for each region together with a list of people interviewed.
