A.S.A.S. Regulatory Agency Committee Annual Report to the Executive Committee 1975 to 1976

Members of the Hormone Subcommittee and other invited participants met December 18 to 20, 1975 at the Winrock International Livestock Research and Training Center, Petit Jean Mountain, Morrilton, Arkansas to consider the present situation and make plans for the future on application of scientific knowledge concerning hormones and growth promotants in production of animal foods to contribute safely and economically to the human requirement for nutrients, and to the quality and enjoyment of human life in the world. The agenda included: (1) Review of world literature on endogenous and exogenous hormones related to food produced by domestic animals — Colin Kaltenbach; (2) Discussion of EPA's "Nine Principles of Carcinogenicity." — Tom Shellenber; (3) Discussion of the Kennedy bill on DES — H. H. Cole; (4) Discussion of the paper by R. L. Preston titled "Biological Responses to Estrogen Additives in Meat Producing Cattle and Lambs" — Harold Hafs; (5) FDA and APHIS requirements and procedures to insure safety of the food supply concerning hormones and growth promotants — Robert Zimbelman; and (6) Predicting genetic merit of young food producing animals based on metabolic and endocrine profiles — Harold Hafs and H. A. Fitzbughugh, Jr. During a meeting of the Hormone Subcommittee at Winrock, Dr. Zimbleman moved that the Subcommittee recommend to the Parent Committee that it sent a letter to Representative Whitten in which it supports the NCTR approach to the study of hormones and human safety.
