Organic Milk Has Much Higher Concentration Of Iron, Vitamin E, And Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Omega-3 And Omega-6 As Compared To Regular Milk
Organic
Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The
use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most
jurisdictions.
Organic
cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production.
Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides.
Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although
most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing
cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic
milk may be a better investment for your health.

Analysis, 2022-2028.
The
standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy
farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows
must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. Conventional milk isn't held
to the same standards.
Organic
milk contains more Omega-3 fatty acids than conventional full-fat milk, as organic
cows eat fresh forage. The milk's fatty acid content may depend on the season
of the year. Organic cows can also eat different crops. Organic farms also
follow stricter standards for feeding and raising their cattle. Therefore,
organic milk is the healthier option.
The
price difference between organic and conventional milk is significant. Certified
organic milk is generally double the cost of conventional milk. High
cost of organic feed and the impact of farm subsidies makes organic milk is
expensive for most people. Bridging the gap would require a major overhaul of
our food system. Organic milk can cost up to double the price of conventional
milk, making it out of reach for most families.
In
2015, a Post reporter visited seven large organic operations in Texas and New
Mexico, and found that the products tested had fewer chemicals than
conventional dairy cows. In some dairy farmers claimed that large organic
dairies are breaking the organic rules.
In
June 2020, Betsukai Wellness Farm Co., Ltd was established by Kaneka
Corporation, a new company that will be manufacturing and selling organic milk
in Notsuke District, Sadayuki Nakayama in Japan.
