Milk Flavor
Cows fed in dry lots will
produce milk of much better
flavor stability if their rations
are supplemented with vita
min E (tocopherol), reports a
University of Maryland scien
tist wwtan? under a U.S. De
partment of Agriculture re
search grant.
Dr Raymond L King, pro
fessor of agricultural chemistry
at the umveisity, has evidence
that a vitamin E deficiency in
cows not on pasture is the
reason their milk often has an

Oxidized flavor in milk has
been described as cardboard

pending upon its intensity.
It develops as a result of
any contact of the milk with
copper. Although such con
tact is carefully avoided dur
ing processing, even the cop
per naturally present in the
milk may be enough to im
part this objectionable off
flavor.
Daily rations produced by at
least one Urge feed manufac

King’s studies indicate that

or 2 grams of the vitamin per

For his study of the effect
of dry-lot feeding on milk fla
vors, King maintains a 22-
cow herd on a basic ration of
alfalfa hay and grain concen
trate. Noting that cows on this
ration produced milk with an
exceptionally low content of
vitamin E, a natural antioxi
dant, he added various amounts
of tocopherol acetate to their
diet for a few weeks, and then
withdrew the supplement. He
showed that the amount of the
vitamin fed to the cows was
