Organic milk has more of the good stuff and none of the antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones or controversial pesticides. Organic milk comes from cows that have never been given drugs, which means that organic milk is guaranteed to be free of any residue.
They adhere to the principles of organic farming, meaning that the grass which the cows graze on has not been treated with any chemicals. Any additional feed provided has been certified as organic and does not contain any artificial additives. Organic dairies follow animal welfare regulations that include standards on cows’ ability to move freely, as well as procedures on sanitizing and keeping cows healthy.
Organic milk contains more omega 3 than the conventional one. Since omega 3 is considered an essential fatty acid, required for healthy body growth. Organic milk has a higher nutritional content, and more disease-fighting antioxidants than non-organic milk.
Organic cows are raised in humane conditions and eat healthy diets, so that a glass of organic milk can be served without antibiotics, synthetic growth hormones or controversial pesticides. Organic milk producers are not allowed to use antibiotics unless they are necessary to save the life of an animal.
Organic milk costs more than conventional milk because organic production is more expensive for the producer (increased animal feed prices, certification costs, and lowered milk yields).
