Contact
Kansas
Governor
Kathleen
Sebelius
and
urge
her to veto HB 2121 before
April 16th.
HB 2121 could potentiall restrict any national US dairy from properly
labeling their milk products as free from genetically engineered bovine
growth hormone (rbGH or rbST).
rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is a genetically engineered variant of the natural growth hormone produced by cows. Formerly manufactured by Monsanto, it is sold to dairy farmers under the trade name Posilac. Injection of this hormone forces cows to boost milk production by about 10%, while increasing the incidences of mastitis, lameness, and reproductive complications.
