OBJECTIONABLE FLAVOUR IN MILK
AS. A RESULT OF FEEDING TURNIPS. We hear so many complaints about objectionable flavours in milk when cows are being fed with turnips that the following conclusions arrived at by C. J. Babcock, Assistant Market Milk Specialist to the Dairy Division, U.S.A., will be of much interest to readers of the “Times.”
Feeding turnips to dairy cows at the rate of 15 pounds one hour before milking produces objectionable off flavours and odours in the milk.
Increasing the amount of turnips fed one hour before milking from 15 to 30 pounds, increases to a very marked degree the intensity the off flavours and odours produced in the milk.
Feeding turnips at the rate of 30 pounds immediately after milking has little detrimental effect on the flavour and odour of the milk.
Proper aeration reduces strong off flavours and odours in milk, caused , by feeding tm-nips, and some of the slight off flavours and odours may be eliminated. .
The off flavours a'ud odours produced by feeding turnips are more pronounced, in the cream than in the milk.
