It also produces better-tasting milk that is richer in healthy fatty acids than an animal mainly fed on maize and concentrated feed. A recent study* shows that, especially in summer, organic milk contains 40–60% more omega-3 fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It also provides 30–70% more vitamins, carotenoids and other antioxidants. * Source: QLIF, Improving quality and safety and reduction of cost in the European organic and low input food supply chains; EU research project, March 2004–April 2009, headed by Prof. Carlo Leifert (Newcastle University, UK) and Urs Niggli (Research Institute of Organic Agriculture [FiBL], Switzerland).
