MILK AND DAIRY FARMING – OTHER FACTORS THAT IMPAIR THE QUALITY OF MILK (PART 2)
The milk of a diseased cow must be affected in some way, even though the animal might not be tubercular. This is not difficult to understand because it is the same with humans. If a mother is sick, suffering from mineral and vitamin deficiencies, she will be unable to pass on these vital elements to her baby because she lacks them herself. Only a healthy mother can transmit healthy nutrients.
What do we learn from these considerations? That certain basic principles must be put into practice. We have to go full circle if we want to eradicate any mistakes. We have to provide healthy conditions before we can successfully combat today’s nutritional problems. First, we must see to it that the soil is healthy and provides healthy food for the animals. Then we must make sure that their housing is adequate if we want them to produce safe milk. By observing these requirements we can be more certain of better health for the consumer.
