Organic Cow's Milk Nutrition different from other milk

It's no secret that milk is a very rich source of nutrition. Milk contains at least 14 of the 18 vitamins and minerals most needed by the body every day.

However, in recent years some doubt of the quality and nutritional quality of cow's milk because this system of adult cattle ranch more dikandangkan and no longer eat grass. Limited land and the difficulty of getting the grass to make the cows in this modern era is more often get the animal feed concentrates.

Food affects the quality of cow's milk. However, in general there is no noticeable difference between grass-fed beef or concentrates. "The difference may only micro components, if component macro something like," said Purwiyatno Hariyadi, Ph.D., food technology experts from the Institut Pertanian Bogor.

Similarly, organic milk. Purwiyatno say, organic farming is actually more to give environmental rules, but not to the product. "The cow is given food or plants that natural or artificial, the product is not much different outcome," he said.

Not just milk, other organic products as well as nutritional quality and safety are the same. "When compared, there is an advantage in organic produce, but there are also drawbacks. Until now there is no data to say which one is better than the other," said Director of the Southeast Asian Food & Agricultural Science & Technology in this.

Meanwhile, assuming that the cow that dikandangkan more stress than cattle let loose on the grass, according Purwiyanto, will not affect nutritional quality. "His influence may be more to the total milk production, rather than nutritional value," he explained.

He added that consumers need not worry on the nutritional quality of cow's milk. "If we talk about mass production, it must be the end result will be standardized by the industry. Just seen it on the label packaging of nutritional information," he said.
