The Versatile Cow
In considering the effect of farm conditions on milk flavours and composition, it is important to bear in mind that the cow always does her best to maintain her milk as near to normal as possible, stated Dr./1. L. Campbell, of the New Zealand Dairy Research Institute, in an address at Massey Agricultural College. If a cow is starved, she draws on her body reserves to keep up milk quality; and if she is given feed which taints milk, she gradually eliminates those taints. The Jersey cow in England and in the United States produces milk very similar to that of the Jersey cow in New Zealand, despite very great differences in climate, soil type, feeding, housing and general management. Such also is the case with the Ayrshire and Friesian cow. However, conditions may get beyond the cow’s ability to stabilise the quality of her milk, with the result that changes in milk properties may affect the manufacturing properties.
