Mills shows that there was consensus about the scientific evidence but interpretation of that evidence differed depending on the context from which it was viewed. Scientists who analysed it for regulatory bodies interpreted it differently than scientists in corporate or academic institutions, and scientists in Canada and Europe interpreted it differently than those in the United States. In the United States it was assumed that any problems arising from its use could be taken care of within the existing dairy system; in Canada and Europe these problems were regarded as legitimate animal welfare issues. While all regulatory bodies agreed that human health problems were unlikely, in Canada the Health Protection Branch questioned this, but ultimately rejected the drug on animal health grounds.Recombinant bovine somatotropinGovernment policyUnited StatesRecombinant bovine somatotropinGovernment policyCanadaRecombinant bovine somatotropinEconomic aspectsCanadaHealth PolicyFood ContaminationMilkGrowth HormoneCattleDairyingRecombinant ProteinsProteinsAgriculturePituitary Hormones, AnteriorPublic PolicyRuminantsBeveragesDairy ProductsEnvironmental PollutionFood SafetyBodily SecretionsAmino Acids, Peptides, and ProteinsSocial Control PoliciesFood and BeveragesPublic HealthTechnology, Industry, and AgricultureArtiodactylaFluids and SecretionsFoodPituitary HormonesPeptide HormonesMammalsEnvironment and Public HealthPolicySocial Control, FormalAnatomyHealth CareSociologySocial SciencesPeptidesVertebratesHealth Care Economics and OrganizationsHormonesHormones, Hormone Substitutes, and Hormone AntagonistsChordataAnimalsEukaryotaVeterinary MedicineHILCCAnimal SciencesHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCEarth & Environmental SciencesHILCCRecombinant bovine somatotropinGovernment policyRecombinant bovine somatotropinGovernment policyRecombinant bovine somatotropinEconomic aspectsHealth PolicyFood ContaminationMilkGrowth HormoneCattleDairyingRecombinant ProteinsProteinsAgriculturePituitary Hormones, AnteriorPublic PolicyRuminantsBeveragesDairy ProductsEnvironmental PollutionFood SafetyBodily SecretionsAmino Acids, Peptides, and ProteinsSocial Control PoliciesFood and BeveragesPublic HealthTechnology, Industry, and AgricultureArtiodactylaFluids and SecretionsFoodPituitary HormonesPeptide HormonesMammalsEnvironment and Public HealthPolicySocial Control, FormalAnatomyHealth CareSociologySocial SciencesPeptidesVertebratesHealth Care Economics and OrganizationsHormonesHormones, Hormone Substitutes, and Hormone AntagonistsChordataAnimalsEukaryotaVeterinary MedicineAnimal SciencesHealth & Biological SciencesEarth & Environmental Sciences636.2/0892405Mills Lisa Nicole1967-1589117PQKBBOOK9910782620003321Science and Social Context: The Regulation of Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone in North America3883480UNINA
