Study says green pastures deliver superior dairy products
Studies provide scientific evidence showing the benefits of milk and butter from pasture-fed cattle such as superior nutritional properties, appearance, flavor and color.
The vast majority of cows in the world are fed indoors and see little of lush pastures, unless they’re in Ireland. That’s because Ireland’s dairy and meat herds are almost entirely pasture-based, an advantage articulated in the “Origin Green” campaign marketed by Bord Bia, Ireland.
As a result, consumers generally perceive that milk and dairy products produced from cows maintained on outdoors grazing pastures are “healthier” than from cows fed typical indoor rations and concentrated feeding systems.
