The biologic milk would contain more essential fatty acids and antioxidants than milk coming from industrial farms, reveal a British survey. This conclusion would also apply to the non biologic farms that have means of production similar to the certified organic farms.
It is the fact to let the cows browse the fresh grass that would give a better quality of milk longer, underline the researchers. Besides, it is produces milk during the spring, the summer and the fall that would be of superior quality. In winter, as the cows consume the cereals and grains, the value of nourishing milk would be the same, no matter the means of production employees.
According to the results gotten during the period of grazing, the biologic milk contained 39% more of an acidic named omega 3 alpha-linolenic (ALA) compared to milk coming from the industrial farms. He / it also contained 60% more of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an omega 6. The report 3/oméga omega 6 was also more elevated in the milk that biologic in milk coming from the industrial agriculture. Besides, he / it contained more antioxidants: 33% more of vitamin E and more of carotenoids (30% more of beta-carotene and 67% more of lutein).
The firm bios of cows produced less milk rich in LAC however and in antioxidants that the cows of the non biologic farms who also browsed the grass. However, as the authors of the survey indicate it, the milk of these cows is mixed with the milk of the industrial farms during the dairy milk production while the bio is easily identifiable on the shelves of the grocery stores.
The researchers analyzed 109 samples of milk coming from three types of farms: ten industrial farms, ten certified organic farms and five non-biologic farms using means of production that come closer of the agriculture bio.
