What is the difference between milk from grain-fed and grass-fed dairy cows?
• Cows that are fed calorie-dense grains are able to produce more milk and bring in a higher profit. • Cows that feed on grass produce milk that is higher in beneficial fatty acids. • Additionally, grain-fed cows are associated with E. coli 0157:h7 because grain-fed cows have more acidic digestive systems, creating an ideal environment for this deadly strain of E coli.
