Radio Report Highlights Organic Milk Research

A report on Maine Public Broadcasting Network radio features University of Maine Cooperative Extension professor of sustainable dairy and forage systems Rick Kersbergen, who is involved in a U.S. Department of Agriculture study on improving the marketability of organic milk. Kersbergen said the study looks at trying to decipher what forages and what pasture mixes might change the composition of milk to contain more conjugated linoleic acid, which is considered the good fat in milk.
