Create Value Around Grass-Fed Milk

Project: Create value around grass-fed milk
BY RON JOHNSON, DAIRY EDITOR
Agri-View; Thursday, November 4, 2010 11:18 AM CDT


Is there a way to “create value around grass-fed milk?” Scott Rankin, a UW-Madison food scientist,  asked that question last  week during a “grass-fed  dairy tasting.”

It was the second annual  event, and it drew several  dozen invited guests to the  Arlington Agricultural  Research Station. Guests heard informational presentations and participated in side-by-side tastings of foods made with “conventional” milk and that made with milk from cows that had primarily been grazed.

The 36-month project has a year to go. It’s funded with just over $148,000 from a North Central Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Grant.

Laura Paine, the Wisconsin agriculture department’s grazing and organic agriculture specialist, said the project has four goals. The first goal is to “develop a definitive understanding of the unique physical, chemical and flavor qualities of grass-fed milk.”

“Green” Grazing for Enhancing Food and the Environment

ASA, CSA and SSSA 2010 International Annual meeting, Oct. 31- Nov. 3, Long Beach, CA
What Grass-fed Means to Milk: Dutch Scientist to Speak at OSU This Monday (10/25) in 244 Kottman Hall at Ohio State University, Columbus.

Consumer markets for natural, forage-finished meat products are expanding in the U.S.  As a result of this demand, some livestock producers are electing to finish animals on forages and market meat products directly to consumers. Results from our research show that forage-finished beef has a lower total and saturated fat content than beef from grain-finished. Forage-finishing increases the content of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins in beef muscle. Forage-finishing also increases concentrations of cis-9 trans-11 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a potent anticarcinogen, and all omega-3 fatty acids. However, the forage species utilized for grazing during the finishing period will alter the concentrations of these important fatty acids in the beef muscle. Finishing cattle on legume species, alfalfa and cowpea, increased animal performance, dressing percentage, tenderness and consumer acceptability. Finishing cattle on grass species, bermudagrass and pearl millet, resulted in greater percentages of CLA. Our results show that forage-finished beef has similar tenderness and palatability to grain-finished beef but contains greater concentrations of desirable fatty acids and antioxidants for human health.

Pasteurization has minimum or no effect on butter oil fat content, fatty acid composition, conjugated linoleic acid, and fat soluble vitamins such as vitamins A and E:

Debate Over Raw Milk

4/16/2010

0 Comments

 
By Scott Bauer, Associated Press Writer, Madison, WI, May 5, 2010.

Raw milk advocates hope passage of Wis. bill will encourage other states to legalize sales too.  The legislation, Senate Bill 434, would allow licensed producers to sell raw milk through the end of next year if they obtain a license from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, adhere to regular testing, label each bottle as ‘unpasteurized,’ and include both the producer’s name and license number on the label, according to Wisconsin Ag Connection. Senate Committee on Agriculture and Higher Education removed the clause that would prevent lawsuits against farmers who sold tainted milk when they passed the bill last month.

The bill was authored by Senator Pat Kreitlow and Rep. Chris Danou, with key amendments drafted in cooperation with Senator Sheila Harsdorf. Danou says the Senate’s actions are about ‘rural economic development,’ and he thinks its a win-win situation for family farmers who have found a way to add value to their businesses.

“This vote is a major victory for the right of the informed consumer to make their own choices,” Kreitlow said. “The passage of the bill will go a long way towards eliminating the black market of illegal raw milk sales that exists as well as addressing the public health concerns that come with it.”

Although federal law makes it illegal to sell raw milk across state lines, 25 states allow raw milk to be sold directly to consumers or through retail outlets. Opponents, however, say producers free choice should not be held above consumer safety.

Butter Oil - A Value Supplement for Acne Sufferers

Butter Oil - Overpriced or High Value Supplement for Acne?

100% Independent Natural Acne Treatment Information

What exactly is this butter oil? How is it made? It is made from dairy oil that is extracted from cows without any heat (which would destroy some of its beneficial properties). The other important property is that it comes from cows eating rapidly growing grass, and only grass, a cow's natural food. This ensures the product has the highest nutritional quality possible.

Now how does this relate to someone suffering with acne? The answer is that it provides the highest concentration of quality fats that the acne sufferer desperately needs. In typical modern societies you are going to be looking at one of three sources for these fats, raw milk, raw cheese, or high vitamin butter oil. One of these sources is nearly essential for great results with acne. Butter oil has the advantage for people who cannot obtain raw milk or raw cheese to obtain these essential fats. Now I would still say raw milk is the best out of these as it can be taken in high quantities which helps the acne sufferer a lot.

Organic Milk: Is That Cow Grass-Fed?

8/12/2009

0 Comments

 
Organic milk drinkers can soon take heart that the cows that produced their milk had a healthy, natural diet of pasture grass, if a new USDA rule is approved. The USDA proposal would add another requirement to the list of rules organic dairies must follow: During grazing season, cows must eat pasture grass. The public can weigh in on the proposal until Dec. 23.

Why is Grass-fed Butter Oil a Deep Yellow Color?

4/14/2009

Grass-fed Butter Oil is made from the milk of cows which are fed only grass. The green grasses are rich in Vitamins E and A. The yellow color is due to the high level of Beta-carotene (a precursor of Vitamin A) present in our Grass-Fed Butter Oil

More Antioxidants in Milk from Grass Fed Cows 
Milk from cows grazing on pasture and fed no or little grain had significantly higher concentrations of nutritionally desirable FAs and antioxidants - conjugated linoleic (60% and 99%, respectively) and -linolenic (39% and 31%, respectively) acids, -tocopherol (33% and 50%, respectively) and carotenoids (33% and 80%, respectively) - compared with milk from cows fed preserved forages and high grain diets. Full story
