<br/><br/> As a result of evidence produced by DARD and scientists at AFBI, it is now accepted that this hormone is present in the urine of a significant number of on-farm emergency slaughter (OFES) male cattle.  The report makes recommendations about what action should be taken when new and unusual patterns of events arise, as in the case of alpha-nortestosterone.
