Recombinant Bovine
Somatotropin (rBST) and rBGH
rBST (Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin) or
rBGH ( Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) is a
controversial, genetically engineered version of the
Bovine Growth Hormone used for increasing milk
production in cows.
Schneider’s Dairy is a family business
that has been a leader in the industry for over 70
years. The company survives on Safe, Quality Dairy
Products and a strong commitment to customer service.
That commitment lives on today with the same philosophy
that started back in 1935 with our forefathers and
farmers who believed in producing all natural, farm
fresh milk, from cows NOT treated with the growth
hormone recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rBST).
Schneider’s Dairy is proud to be partners with their
farmers who are the highest rated farms in
Pennsylvania. Their dedication and hard work produce
the highest quality milk available to the industry.
Schneider’s Dairy receives their milk
supply from approximately 100 local independent family
dairy farms that sell their milk exclusively to
Schneider’s. The farmers share the same philosophy as
the dairy, and we work together to uphold our strong
family morals. Our farmers willingly have signed an
agreement affidavit pledging that their farming
practices DO NOT include the use of the Growth
Hormone rBST. Together, our large family believes in
doing things the old fashion way. What sets us apart is
we do it with the highest level of modernization,
creativity, and innovation. These attributes make the
local farms and our company the dairy of choice because
together we care about the needs of our customers.
Our Quality Control Department is a very
important part of the process. On an auditing basis
they make certain our systems remain in control. On the
farm level we employ a Field Inspector who makes certain
that the rules we have in place are in compliance.
Federal test have shown that no
significant difference has been shown between milk
derived from rBST treated and non rBST treated cows.
