Anyone has any thoughts on that? For most cows, milk production increases until about 90 days after they give birth, and then slowly declines during the rest of the lactation. Some cows that do not re-breed can be milked continuously for years, but production declines sufficiently over time that this is not usually economically feasible.
Thanks for the info Angela. This is the exact opposite of some of the articles that I read on the Internet. I did some more research and have confirmed that Canada has policy to prevent the use of any type of growth hormones.
However this is not the case in US. They have a much looser standard than in Canada. Thanks for the clarification of organic vs non organic etc.
It certainly gets confusing sometimes! I wish this Milk was on the shelf where I shop we really need to be concerned about Hormones and Antibiotics in our food.
I thought I was buying Avalon Organic milk. I find the Avalon skim is less fatty than the Dairyland…might be in my head. Thanks for the info! My son is 18 months and thinking of getting him started on the organic milk. Never heard of this milk,we only have Dominion and a few smaller stores who dont carry this,shame would love to try it. I am passionate about writing, photography, hiking, travelling, exercising, and spending time outdoors with my family.
Design by Purr. August 31, Here is an interesting list of FAQ that I found on their website with regards to their organic Milk: Are there any hormones in organic milk? Hormones are not permitted in conventional or organic milk in Canada. Are there antibiotics in organic milk? Strict guidelines and testing are in place to ensure that all milk that reaches the consumer is free of antibiotic residue. Cows that develop an infection are given antibiotics.
On a conventional farm, the milk from the treated cow is discarded for a period of time referred to as the withdrawal period. This includes the time the cow has been on the antibiotics plus the time it would take the drug to be excreted from the system.
On an organic farm, once a cow requires antibiotics, its milk is never again used for human consumption. Are there any differences in the nutritional values between organic and conventional milk? From a nutritional stand point all fluid milks are created equal — whether it is organic milk or not they all contain the same healthy nutritional profile.
The difference between organic and conventional milk involves farming practices, not the milk itself. Is there any taste difference between regular and organic milk? Why is organic milk more costly to purchase? It is a costly process for dairy farmers and processors to receive organic certification, thus the difference in price. As well, the collection, transportation and processing are separate from the conventional milk supply which adds to the costs.
What type of feed are organic cows fed? Organic dairy farmers follow strict farming rules and feed their cows with crops grown without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, GMOs genetically modified organisms or animal by products. How much grazing time do the animals have?
The amount of time the cows graze everyday depends on the weather. The cows are housed in various systems but must be outside the majority of the time. Interesting information right? Does YOUR family enjoy drinking milk everyday? More by Angela ». Leave a Reply Cancel reply Your email address will not be published. Mama3monkeys — August 31, am Reply. Mei — August 31, pm Reply.

Are there antibiotics in organic milk? Strict guidelines and testing are in place to ensure that all milk that reaches the consumer is free of antibiotic residue. Cows that develop an infection are given antibiotics. On a conventional farm, the milk from the treated cow is discarded for a period of time referred to as the withdrawal period. This includes the time the cow has been on the antibiotics plus the time it would take the drug to be excreted from the system.
On an organic farm, milk producers must avoid the use of antibiotics but are allowed to use them up to twice a year per cow with an extended withdrawal period. If antibiotics are used more than twice per year on a cow, that cow must be removed from the organic supply.
Are there any differences in the nutritional values between organic and conventional milk? Besides our ultrafiltered milk, Joyya, all fluid milk is created equally from a nutritional standpoint—whether it is organic milk or not, they all contain the same nutritional profile.
They contain the same combination of nutrients, such as calcium, protein and vitamins A and D. The difference between organic and conventional milk involves farming practices. Is there any taste difference between regular and organic milk? Why is organic milk more expensive? It is a costly process for dairy farmers and processors to receive organic certification and produce milk in compliance with specific methods of production, applicable standards and requirements — thus the difference in price.
As well, the collection, transportation and processing are separate from the conventional milk supply, which adds to the costs. What type of feed are organic cows fed? Organic dairy farmers follow strict standards and must feed their cows with crops grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, genetically modified organisms GMOs or animal by-products. What does partly skimmed milk mean? Partly skimmed milk is milk that has had some of the fat physically removed.
What is homogenization? This keeps the fat evenly distributed, ensuring a smooth and delicious glass of milk with every pour. What is pasteurization? You might not realize it, but before you can enjoy a cold glass of our milk, we have to pasteurize it. Pasteurization is the heating of a product at a specific temperature for a specific time—high enough and long enough to destroy microorganisms which may cause illness or product spoilage. And we do all this without radically altering the taste or quality of our milk.
Does pasteurization affect the nutritional value of milk? Good news: the quantity of calcium, protein, riboflavin and vitamin A in milk remains unchanged after pasteurization.
What is the source of vitamin A and vitamin D in milk? Milk naturally contains some vitamin A and vitamin D. Vitamin A and D are fat-soluble vitamins. Under federal regulations, the level of these vitamins must be added back to a specific amount. Vital for healthy bones and teeth, Vitamin A aids in normal bone and tooth development and Vitamin D is a factor in the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth. Additionally, Vitamin A aids in the development and maintenance of night vision and aids in maintaining the health of the skin and membranes.
Vitamin D enhances calcium and phosphorus absorption and utilization. How much vitamin A is there in milk? The short answer? Just the right amount.
