Identify all cows that have been treated with or have consumed medicinal,
chemical, and radioactive agents capable of being secreted in milk;
2. Maintain a written record of the date of
treatment, type, and quantity of the medicine or chemical administered to each
cow;
3. Milk all treated cows last,
or with separate equipment to prevent contamination of the wholesome milk

for human consumption; and
5.
Discard all milk from the treated cows for the period of time recommended by
the attending veterinarian or as indicated on the package or label of the
medicine used in the treatment of the cow.

or radioactive agent is found in the milk of a dairy and the Dairy Supervisor
determines that the residue may be deleterious to human health, the Director

practice causing the contamination of the milk has been corrected and the dairy
is in compliance with the procedures established in subsection (A);

human consumption as required by subsection (A) is appropriately discarded;
