Despite the raw evidence of IGF-1 existing‚ the FDA still feels no need to label products in the US or ban the injection of bGH into dairy cattle (W. Stollzenburg). Canada and European Nations have outlawed the use of the hormone.

Heat stressed cows increase respiration rate (panting) in an effort to lose heat. One indirect consequence is a reduction in the availability of bicarbonate in saliva. With lower salivation as feed intake falls‚ this predisposes the cow to ruminal acidosis and the accompanying milk fat depression. Feeding I.C.E.™ to heat-stressed cows in Brazil mitigated this problem (Figure 4). Figure 4. I.C.E.™ improves milk fat %. 3.38 3.40 Milk fat % 3.30 3.20 3.10 3.12 3.00 2.90 Control I.C.E.™ Source:
