     3   Q.   Are antibiotics used in the feeds?
     4        A.  Antibiotics, no, not in the feeds.
     5
     6   Q.   Right.
     7        A.  No.
     8
     9   Q.   When are antibiotics used then?
    10        A.  We will use antibiotics, if you classify penicillin and
    11        the like as antibiotics, etcetera, we will use them on an
    12        individual basis to a peak if there is respiratory problem
    13        or something like that, and the pig would be treated
    14        individually.
    15
    16   Q.   So there is no time when all the pigs would get a dose of
    17        antibiotics then?
    18        A.  No.
    19
    20   Q.   Has that always been the case?
    21        A.  I would say for the last -- since about 1979 or 1980.
    22
    23   MS. STEEL:   If we finish for the day now, but Dave wanted to
    24        raise something.  Is that OK?
    25
    26   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.
    27
    28   MR. RAMPTON:  I do too.
    29
    30   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, if you would like to go and sit down?
    31        Thank you, Mr. Bowes.
    32
    33                        (The witness withdrew)
    34
    35   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, Mr. Morris?
    36
    37   MR. MORRIS:  Just a couple of matters that were outstanding from
    38        Friday:  We are still working on the amended pleading, so
    39        we ask that any decision of yours which relies on
    40        amendments, if they can be held until we have actually
    41        submitted them.
    42
    43   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I was not going to give a decision on
    44        those.
    45
    46   MR. MORRIS:  Right, it is just that some documentation may be
    47        lying on those as well.  I was asked to look for the
    48        reference of Kasper Van Erp's report and review of
    49        packaging, 1990.  It is day 63, pages 5 to 7.  It is really
    50        two whole pages really but ----- 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes, I will find it. 
    53
    54   MR. MORRIS:  It goes to page 7 because the review is brought up
    55        on page 7.  The review may be a more extensive document.
    56        We did not have time on Friday to apply for all the
    57        outstanding employment documents which are loose ends, if
    58        you like, from the affidavits of Messrs. Stein and
    59        Nicholson.  That is something I would like to do when we
    60        get another chance.  Obviously, that is not urgent in terms
