Feed additives and supplements for dairy cattle

Mineral supplements for dairy cattle are mixtures of vitamins and minerals. These dairy cattle feed supplements are typically fed to animals to deal with deficiencies. Dairy feed additives are compounds fed to dairy cows for reasons other than supplying nutrients. Feed additives for dairy cows increase production and feed efficiency of dairy cows or improve health, improving lactational performance of dairy cattle. Selko offers a range of dairy feed additives and mineral supplements for dairy cattle, in combination with services and protocols to help you optimise the performance of your dairy herd. This range of dairy cattle feed additives and mineral supplements for dairy cattle includes dairy feed additives that:

Improve cow rumen fermentation and hindgut health of dairy cows

Reduce the impact of negative energy balance on dairy cow performance

Reduce the incidence of subclinical and clinical milk fever in dairy cows

Increase the lactational performance of dairy cows and the production of milk solids

Improve fertility of dairy cattle

The range of mineral supplements for dairy cattle includes trace mineral dairy feed supplements without sulfates. Mineral supplements for dairy cattle that contain sulfate sources oftrace minerals are known to negatively affect rumen health and gut barrier function42. All of our trace mineral dairy feed supplements and dairy cattle feed additives are based on the latest scientific insights about the transition management of dairy cows and are presented to you under the Selko programme for sustainable dairy farming umbrella.

Choosing the correct mineral supplements for dairy cattle.

Dairy cattle feed supplements containing sulfate salts of trace minerals can be toxic to bacteria in the rumen and in the hindgut and can also hurt the gut barrier function. This will reduce fibre digestibility and increase the risk of a “leaky gut” in dairy cows. Replacing dairy feed supplements containing sulfate salts of trace minerals with Selko IntelliBond mineral supplements for dairy cattle containing the hydroxyform will increase by 2% of total tract NDF digestibility. Using high-quality mineral supplements for dairy cattle that are based on independent research will lead to a significant improvement in lactational performance.

The heritage of phytogenic feed additives for dairy cattle

Selko phytogenic feed additivesin dairy cattle are based on a heritage that is 2,000 years old. More than 800 plants have been identified with a known effect on virtually every body function of humans and animals. Many of these plants could have a potential benefit if used in dairy feed additives, but only less than 10 of these plant extracts have been commercialized in phytogenicfeed additives in dairy cattle.

Most phytogenic feed additives in dairy cattle are essential oils containing natural plant extracts. Producing dairy cattle feed additives with plant extracts of consistent quality requires expert knowledge in a variety of fields. In the early stages of the development of feed additives for dairy cattle, plant extracts are produced from plants harvested from the wild. The amount of extract present in the plant varies between the plants tested. Once a plant extract that can be used to develop dairy feed additives has been identified and characterized, the genetic variant with the highest yields needs to be domesticated. This will enable the producer to grow a few thousand plants that are identical and will yield similar amounts of plant extracts, which can subsequently be used in phytogenic feed additives in dairy cattle.

Most feed additives for dairy cows that contain plant extracts need to be encapsulated to ensure delivery at the target organ in the animal. There are only a few laboratories in the world that master this encapsulation technique for dairy feed additives, which makes this technique one of the unique assets used in Selko feed additives for dairy cattle.

Welfare In Dairy Cows - Evaluation Indicators

Abstract

Sustainability, animal welfare, environmental and climate concerns and awareness of social responsibility towards the community have increased consumers interest in knowing how, where and by whom food is produced and handled on its way from the farm to the table. This constitutes a business opportunity for farmers as a growing number of consumers want to buy food, produced locally or regionally directly or under farm certification schemes whereby acceptable animal welfare conditions play often an important role. Farming systems for dairy cows, including housing and management conditions, are important factors affecting their health and other aspects of their welfare, partly through housing and equipment and partly through management and handling practices.

Importance of European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)

The panel on Animal Health and Animal Welfare (AHAW) is a scientific advice on all aspects of animal diseases and welfare of food producing-animals during breeding, rearing, transportation and slaughter. Analysis of the impact that the conditions and treatment of animals can have on both animal and human health. Animal welfare is an important part of EFSA’s remit. The safety of the food chain is indirectly affected by the welfare of animals, particularly those farmed for food production, due to the close links between animal welfare, animal health and food-borne diseases [1,2].

The AHAW Panel has published five scientific opinions and a scientific report on the overall effects of the most relevant farming systems on the welfare of dairy cows and related diseases, assessing the potential impacts of housing, feeding, management and genetic selection [3]. Due to the wealth of data, the experts subdivided the risk assessments into four areas: a. Metabolic and reproductive disorders. b. Udder disorders. c. Leg and locomotion problems. d. Behavioural disorders, fear and pain. Following a request from the European Commission, the AHAW Panel was asked to deliver the first scientific opinion on the welfare of dairy cows, in july 2009 considering whether current farming and husbandry systems comply with the requirements of and welfare of dairy cows from the pathological, zootechnical, physiological and behavioural points of view [4-6]. Later in January 2012 published a new scientific report on welfare in dairy cows, which was one of the most important to increase the monitoring of welfare in the farms: the use of animal-based measures to assess welfare of dairy cows. Other international organisations have also issued recommendations and guidelines concerning animal welfare, such as the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the Council of Europe. The EU is a signatory to the European Convention for the protection of animals kept for farming purposes, adopted by the Council of Europe [7].

Indicators of Welfare in Dairy Cows

The study of useful variables for evaluating animal welfare in dairy herds has increased considerably in the last years, and a number of indicators are now available which are well documented for being included in animal welfare protocols. However, the protocols that have been proposed and applied until now are costly and difficult to implement, and are starting to be evaluated. There is consensus in the reliability of measurements based directly on the animal as useful indicators, such as body condition, foot diseases, mastitis and other more general indicators, such as infertility and mortality rates obtained from records of dairy farms that can be studied under our production conditions [8].

In order to identify appropriate indicators which address the most important animal welfare problems known from practice, its very important have selected indicators for assessing animal welfare with regard to reliability, validity and practicability. In animal welfare legislation as well as agricultural practice, mainly resource- and management-based animal welfare indicators have been used so far. These describe the conditions, e. g. the space available and the management, which are expected to safeguard animal welfare. However, such resource- and managementbased indicators only allow indirect conclusions to be drawn on how well the animals may fare under these conditions. With the animal-based indicators required in the self-assessment system, on the other hand, the behaviour/health of the animals is recorded directly, so that direct conclusions about their welfare can be drawn. EFSA assessed the welfare risks related to the most commonly used and specialised dairy cows farming systems, integrating the use of animal-based measures to assess their consequences (Table 1).

The livestock keeper should benefit from the on-farm selfassessment. To be able to use the results effectively for planning and implementing improvement measures, the single indicators should not just be assessed, but instead be integrated into more comprehensive management aids. The sets of indicators should therefore also be applied as a whole as far as possible, as with each missing indicator, the informative content is reduced and at the same time the risk increases that animal welfare problems are not recognised. The use of behavioral indicators, health and management in the evaluation of welfare in cows milk is a very valuable tool, considering the difficulty of using physiological and immunological indicators, or drawbacks, such as costs.

Dairy workers report that employees treat them "like slaves", they are fired for trying to organise, they are killed by lax or non-existent safety protocols and are ultimately deemed expendable

A critical piece of context as avian flu continues to spread in US dairy cows herds is that more than half of dairy workers in the US are immigrants, many undocumented, exploited, abused, often working 16 hours a day, every day. Pandemic control is impossible in such conditions

Anti-Inflammatory Recipes For Chronic Illness

New Post has been published on https://newscheckz.com/anti-inflammatory-recipes-for-chronic-illness/

Anti-Inflammatory Recipes For Chronic Illness

What does food have to do with chronic illness? A lot. Treat yourself and your gut to these delicious, anti-inflammatory dishes. Dinner is served!

Having a healthy gut can go a long way to feeling better and managing chronic health issues.

Chronic inflammation often goes hand-in-hand with chronic diseases, causing pain and a host of other symptoms throughout your body.

Appreciatively, we can support our body’s ability to feel better by fueling up with whole foods that are dense with nutrients that the body can use to reduce inflammation.

It’s important to note that each person with gut issues will have to determine which foods are triggers for their condition.

Keeping a food diary and then discussing it with a registered dietitian or GI specialist might be very helpful.

Other lifestyle interventions, such as stress management and adequate sleep, are also helpful.

Below charming recipes are anti-inflammatory and tasty, getting you one bite closer to a happy healthy gut and in good physical shape you.

Spaghetti mash with avocado basil dressing

Spaghetti squash is a hidden gem among squashes. You can make it as a side dish or into a main meal because of its similarity to spaghetti.

I love this recipe because it incorporates diverse nutrient profiles, and the bright sauce adds a burst of creaminess from the avocado.

Ingredients:

For the main dish:

1 spaghetti squash

1 lb. cooked chicken breast

1 cup grape tomatoes, halved

1 bundle asparagus, steamed and chopped into 1-inch pieces

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tbsp. olive oil

For the sauce:

2 avocados

1/4 cup and 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1 cup fresh basil leaves

3/4 tsp. sea salt

1 clove garlic

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (191°C).

Slice the spaghetti squash in half (I do it the long way, but both ways work), and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Place face down on a baking sheet.

Put into the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or longer, until the skin is easily pierced and you can shred the insides.

While the spaghetti squash is cooking, steam and slice the asparagus, cut the chicken breast, and halve the grape tomatoes.

To make the sauce, add the avocado and 1/4 cup of olive oil into a food processor or blender. Blend, then add the basil leaves, sea salt, garlic, and more olive oil by the tablespoon as needed.

When the spaghetti squash is done, shred the insides and add to a large serving bowl. Add the ingredients you chopped, plus 1 tbsp. of olive oil and 1 tsp. sea salt and toss.

Drizzle over the sauce before enjoying.

Pan-seared lemon turmeric chicken salad

Turmeric is a spice that’s been used medicinally for years, especially in Ayurvedic medicine.

Curcumin is the substance in turmeric that provides a potent reduction in inflammation.

Adding turmeric to your food is a simple way to kick it up with an anti-inflammatory punch!

Pair it with lemon, another anti-inflammatory food that’s packed with vitamin C (crucial for the immune system) and helps with many digestive ailments.

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

For the salad:

1 medium sweet potato

1 lb. chicken breast

1 tsp. sea salt

1 tsp. turmeric

zest of 1 lemon, plus a drizzle of lemon juice

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 cup strawberries

6 cups fresh spinach

For the dressing:

1/4 cup olive oil

juice of 1 lemon

1/4 tsp. sea salt

1/8 tsp. freshly cracked black pepper

Directions:

Use an already roasted sweet potato, or roast one medium sweet potato at 350°F (177°C) for one hour, remove from the skin, and cut into rounds.

While the sweet potato is baking, set a large skillet on medium heat. Season the chicken on both sides with 1 tsp. sea salt, turmeric, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Once the skillet is hot, add 1 tbsp. olive oil and add the chicken to the pan.

Flip the chicken after about 10 minutes, then cook for another 10 minutes. When finished, slice into strips.

Slice the strawberries.

Add the spinach to a large salad bowl. Place the sweet potato, chicken, and strawberries on top.

Now mix the dressing. In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup olive oil, lemon juice, 1/4 tsp. sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well and drizzle over the salad before serving.

Grilled chicken thighs with pineapple-mint salsa

There’s nothing better than the crispy skin off of chicken thighs. This recipe takes them to the next level with a dose of tangy pineapple-mint salsa.

Thighs are a relatively inexpensive cut of chicken, so this recipe is cost-effective too.

But the iconic ingredient here is the pineapple. It has an abundance of vitamin C, B vitamins, and minerals as well contains a special enzyme called bromelain, which helps support digestion.

Grass-fed beef and veggie burgers

Why grass-fed beef? Cows are ruminants and meant to eat mostly grasses. Yet, our modern agricultural system has turned to cheaper ways of feeding cows, like wheat, corn, soy, and by-products, which also make the cows get bigger faster.

When the cow eats foods it shouldn’t, it becomes unhealthy, just like us.

Properly fed cows equal healthy cows, and healthy cows equals healthy meat for us.

This colorful recipe beats a regular old burger because it’s also filled with veggies loaded with fiber and antioxidant power.

Broccoli cauliflower soup

This tastes like an indulgent cream-based soup, but instead uses dairy-free coconut milk.

The recipe fits the criteria for many healing diets like paleo and AIP (autoimmune protocol).

Broccoli and cauliflower are both part of the brassica family, a nutrient powerhouse.

Also called “cruciferous vegetables,” these goodies are especially high in carotenoids, which are the precursor to making vitamin A and are touted for their numerous health benefits.

Another star of this dish is bone broth. Bone broth is incredibly soothing to our gastrointestinal system.

It’s a dense source of amino acids, minerals, collagen, and other substances that help to repair the gut lining.

Try making it at home for the most cost-effective and delicious broth.

This soup gets gratuity sockets because it’s freezable, which is perfect for fatigue-filled days.

Crispy drumsticks with balsamic fig sauce

In most places, fresh figs are seasonal, so grab them while you can.

Figs are a source of potassium, among other minerals, and fiber, which supports regular digestion.

Also they are so tasty no matter how you choose to serve them: whether sliced up in salads or used in a heartier dish.

Basic broiled salmon

There are so many benefits to salmon but the most talked about is its high amounts of omega-3 fats.

Omega-3s are anti-inflammatory and that alone makes salmon a perfect food for those living with chronic illness.

This healthy source of protein is also rich in B vitamins and vitamin D.

Serve with your favorite sides, and don’t forget the lemon wedges!

Long-Term Morbidity of Infantile Eczema

Authored by A Cantani

Abstract

Human mankind is aware of the existence of adverse reactions to foods since classical times. Hippocrates (460-370BC) reported urticaria and gastroin¬testinal upset following cow’s milk (CM) ingestion. Lucretius (98-55BC) wrote “Quod aliis cibus est aliis fuat acre venenum”. Galen (131- 219) described allergy to goat’s milk. At the turn of this century the first description of acute shock due to CM al¬lergy was published, and Schloss was the first to evaluate skin tests for the diagnosis [1].

Introduction

Accordingly the aspiration to influence the natural incidence of atopic illness has piqued physicians’ imaginations for a long time. The phenotypic expression of IgE-mediated disorders, which appears regulated by multiple genetic factors and modulated by environmental experiences, has been a target for prevention medicine since the 1920s when dietary intervention was adopted in infancy. During the past 70 years, controversy has emerged from clinical studies designed to evaluate the effect of dietary and environmental exclusions on the subsequent manifestations of atopy. Since then, vast arrays of articles have been published, which were only matched by endless discussions on the terms to be used. The lack of a single, practical diagnostic test has contributed to the polarization of the scientific controversy between “believers” and “nonbelievers”. The problem posed by few diseases like atopic dermatitis (AD) is compounded by the difficulties experienced in its treatment. AD cannot benefit from pre-arranged therapeutic protocols, and is cause of invaluable and long-term physical and emotional suffering for children and parents. Therefore AD confronts doctors with one of the most demanding challenges [2,3].

Case Reports

In a 5-yr prospective study on 56 children (32M, 24F) affected with food hypersensitivity (FH) fulfill¬ing the criteria for the AD diagnosis3 a 4-wk diagnostic elimi¬na¬tion diet was prescribed for diagnostic purposes. CM and dairy prod¬ucts were avoided if AD appeared when milk was the only feeding. If AD occurred when egg and wheat were also given, these foods were avoided. Further foods were elimi¬nated following anamnestic data. Soy-milk (Isomil, Abbott), lamb-meat based-diet [1], and other nutritionally ade¬quate food equivalents were employed. An open challenge test was done when skin lesions cleared-up. If no immediate reaction ensued, food was fed in a normal way, and the skin accurately checked by parents. At each visit the severity of skin lesions was evaluated. On the basis of the challenge test, a therapeutic elimination diet, ex¬cluding the offending foods, was given independently of IgE and/or skin test response. All patients were checked every year or more fre¬quently if necessary.The following parameters were studied at the 5-yr follow-up: age; AD severity score; development of food tolerance; duration of symptoms; respira¬tory allergy (asthma and/or rhinitis). Total IgE determina¬tion was not per¬formed by 7 children, and skin tests and/or IgE to food/inhalant allergens by 13. Due to previous severe ana-phylactic reactions the challenge test to egg was not done in 7 patients and to CM in 3. The median age (MA) of the children at the first examination was 3 yr. MA at AD onset was 3mo, before the 4th mo of life in 27 babies (48%); between the 4th and 6th mo in 10 babies (18%), and after the 6th mo in 19 babies (34%). Mean sever¬ity score of AD was 17. Family history of atopy was positive in 23 pa¬tients (41%). Skin le¬sions were typical in 43 children (77%) and widespread or not typical (reverse pattern) in 13 (23%); 19 patients (34%) had respiratory al¬lergy.CM formulas were given since birth in 23 (41%), before the 3rd mo in 18 (32%), after the 3rd mo in 15 cases (27%). Total IgE levels were higher than 2 SD for age in 39/49 chil¬dren (80%). Skin tests and/or IgE to food allergens were positive in 45/55 children (82%), and to inhalant allergens in 26/44 children (59%). Main offending foods were CM and egg in 40%, CM alone and egg in 14%, and wheat in 2% of children. Polysensitivity was present mainly towards CM, egg and wheat in 29% of patients. 10/56 children (18%) were sen¬sitive to wheat. At the follow- up the children’s MA was 6 yr+9mo. Skin lesions cleared up in 32 (57%) children, persisted in 24 (43%). 60% of children completely lost FH, 14% achieved a partial tolerance, in 26% FH persisted. There was no differ¬ence in the MA of these 3 groups. The MA for tolerance to CM was 3 yr+6mo, to egg 4 yr, and to wheat 4 yr+ 6mo.There was no age difference at the first examination and at the follow-up in the groups with and without tolerance. There was a significant difference (p=0.0001) in the age of AD onset in the group with tol¬erance (MA 3 mo) and in the group without tolerance. 28 children (50%) had respiratory allergy at the followup, 21 pa¬tients (37%) developed asthma, 2(4%) rhinitis, and 5(9%) asthma and rhinitis. The children were divided into two groups: 24 with persisting AD, and 32 with cleared-up AD. There was a signif¬icant relationship between AD outcome and the age of onset of the skin le¬sions. In 25/32 children (78%) with cleared-up AD the onset was before and in 12/24 children (50%) with persisting AD after the 6th mo of life (p=0.023). There was a significant relationship between AD outcome and the skin lesion distribution at the first examination. 29/32 children with healing (91%) had typical skin lesions at the first ex¬amination, while in 10/24 children (42%) with persisting AD the lesions were not typical or widespread (p = 0.0001). A significant relationship was found between AD out-come and the de¬velopment of food tolerance. 95% of children with healing achieved a complete or partial tolerance to the offending foods, while 50% with persisting AD failed to lose FH (p=O.OO07).Additional significant differences between the two groups were found regarding association with respira¬tory allergy (p=0.0007), total (p=0.0001) and specific IgE (p=0.0001), the relationship between development of tolerance and symptoms (p=0.0026) and between tolerance and development of additional allergies (p=0.035), while no difference was found for family history of atopy, sex, AD severity score, and skin test responses. At the last follow-up the children were divided into those with and without respiratory al¬lergy. Both groups had a similar MA (6 yr+2/3mo). There was a significant relationship between the respiratory allergy prevalence at the last fol¬low-up and the positivity of skin tests and/or IgE to in¬halant aller¬gens at the first exami¬nation. 11/18 children without respiratory allergy (39%) had positive skin tests and/or IgE to inhalant allergens, while 19/26 children (73%) with respiratory allergy at the last follow-up had posi¬tive skin tests and/or IgE to inhalant allergens at the first examination (p=0.023). In conclusion, several parameters were significantly (0.023 =p=0.0001) associ¬ated with persisting skin lesions [2]. This confirms that few diseases like AD, although not being lethal, are causes of invalu¬able physical and emotional suffering either for children or their parents [4].

Dhanwantharam Kashayam for Preventing PostPartum Complications in Cross-Bred Cows-Juniper Publishers

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF DAIRY & VETERINARY SCIENCES

Abstract

Dhanwantharam Kashayam (DK) - The herbal formulation in the form of a decoction - mentioned in Astangahridayam, prevents post-partum complications in cross-bred cows under field conditions. Cross-bred cows during the third trimester of pregnancy, administered with 250ml of DK twice daily till parturition were devoid of post-partum oedema and post-calving stress after delivery. All the treated cows except one shed their fatal membrane after delivery within two to six hours. Only one animal exhibited difficulty in parturition because of twin pregnancy. The analysis of serum samples of treated cows for albumin, globulin, blood urea nitrogen, total protein, creatinine kinase, glucose, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase, serum calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and iron, before and after parturition showed near normal levels. The result indicated that pre-partum administration of DK for thirty days to cross-bred cows did not show the post- partum complications like retention of fetal membrane, post-partum oedema and post-calving stress.

Keywords: Post-partum complications; Cross bred cows; Dhanvantram kashayam

Abbreviations:   DK: Dhanwantharam Kashayam; GGT: Gama G-lutamyl Transpeptidase; ALP: Alkaline Phosphatise; AST: Aspartate transaminase

Introduction

The present intensive dairy production systems using exotic cow breeds with a very high per-animal productivity target has mandated improved management of these cows. Disturbance or mismanagement during the transition period will damage the reproductive tract and oocytes of the dairy cow and indirectly interfere with the normal hypothalamic pituitary-ovarian hormonal control system [1]. Foetal membranes are normally expelled within 12 hours of parturition. If expulsion happen between 12-24 hours it is considered as delayed and not expelled within 24 hours are considered as retained. The reported incidence of retained placenta is 24.3% [2]. The udder is also prone to injury due to post-partum oedema. The persistent oedema interferes with the milking and may lead to predispose mastitis. Udder oedema also leads to losses in dairy industry due to decreased milk production. Endometritis following parturition is a major cause of infertility in dairy animals leading to delayed pregnancy and resumption of reproduction after parturition. The incidence of uterine bacterial infection has not decreased in spite of wide spread use of antibiotics. Use of DK during pregnancy (pre and post-natal period) in humans is well documented in Ayurveda (Astangahridayam). It helps to overcome parturition stress by strengthening the pelvic muscle, ligaments for easy delivery, involution and shedding of placenta. Present study was undertaken to evaluate the clinical efficiency of DK in cross bred cows during transition period.

Materials and Methods

Eleven cross bred animals of last trimester (above 250 days of pregnancy) of pregnancy were selected for this study. All the animals were belonging to Thirur and Kottakkal of Malappuram (Dt), Kerala State. Inclusion and exclusion criteria are given in Table 1.

a. Treatment protocol

The DK (Table 2) powder (375gms) was boiled with fifteen litres of water on moderate fire till it was reduced to 5 litres. 250ml of this decoction was administered twice daily to each cow orally by mixing it in the feed. The decoction was boiled every day to avoid contamination with microbes. After every 10 days new decoction is prepared. The treatment is continued for 30 days. Before administration of DK, serum analysis was conducted for GGT (Gamma Glutamyl-transpeptidase), ALP (AlkaLine Phosphatase), AST (ASpartate Transaminase), calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Iron, Serum, albumin, Serum globulin, Total protein, Blood urea, Nitrogen, Glucose, Creatin kinase [3] and examined for presence of Pre-partum oedema in all animals. After calving, Serum analysis of the same animals was repeated as mentioned above. Presence of post-partum oedema, time taken for shedding of placenta and post calving stress (ie. staggering gait, anorexia, shock) were recorded.

Results and Discussion

Serum profile of total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, mineral profiles and liver enzymes were shown in Table 4. In cross bred animals, after delivery there is a drop in calcium level during early stage of lactation (8.19 ± 0.83mg/dl) than the normal healthy cows (11.21 ± 0.19mg/ dl). After delivery calcium level in blood is below 6.4mg/ dl (Hypocalcaemia) [4]. The reduced Ca++ levels could be a result of the impaired absorption of food metabolites from the gastrointestinal precursor, excessive losses through urine, production colostrums as it was much more drained in the colostrums during excessive milking and due to insufficient mobilization from the skeleton. As the stage of lactation progresses the serum calcium level attains desired level. Serum calcium has been reported to show a tendency to decrease shortly after calving. Moderate depression in the levels of phosphorus after delivery might be due to the necessity of it for the colostrums synthesis and enhanced carbohydrate metabolism.

All the animals treated with Dhanwantharam kashayam showed normal levels of blood calcium. Magnesium plays a vital role during the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. Magnesium promotes vasodilatation and uterine relaxation. Medication of pregnant cows with DK during pregnancy showed significant maintenance of mineral status after delivery. It was observed that there is no drastic reduction in mineral status after delivery in the treated animals. A high Ca/Mg ratio was maintained before and after the delivery. This may be reason for normal calving procedure and lesser postpartum complications. Medicated cows showed normal calcium, magnesium and phosphorous levels in their blood indicating that drug helps to restore mineral imbalance after calving (Table 4).

A high Ca/Mg ratio has been experimentally shown to provoke vasospasm in certain blood vessels in vitro and is responsible for the spasm of umbilical and placental vasculature at the end of pregnancy. It is likely that the intake of magnesium supplement may help to reduce the incidence of dystocia. Medicating the cows with DK during pregnancy significantly reduces the time for shedding of foetal membranes after delivery and the time taken for shedding the placenta is two to six hours (Table 3). Out of the eleven cows studied, all of them except one shed their foetal membranes within two to six hours.

Incidence of dystocia is common in cross bred animals. Reasons for this can be attributed to the inertia of uterine musculature during delivery. In both clinical studies and Ayurveda treatment, it has been proved that DK helps to regain uterine muscular tone and fastens uterine involution after delivery. DK is the drug of choice for regaining uterine muscular tone during parturition. It helps to overcome parturition stress by strengthening the pelvic muscles, ligaments, for easy delivery Third stage labour, involution and shedding of foetal membrane were fastened by this medication. Ten out of the eleven cows showed normal and easy delivery. And one case of dystocia was observed due to twin pregnancy (Table 3). These animals showed markedly reduced stress levels after delivery and showed normal feeding, rumination and absence of lameness. Medication with Dhanwandharam Kashayam during pregnancy can effectively control pre and post-partum “oedema”. Cows with post-partum oedema have reduced blood urea nitrogen level and increased total protein in their blood [5].

The medicated cows the level of blood urea nitrogen and total protein were normal. Gama G-lutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT), AlkaLine Phosphatise (ALP) and Aspartate transaminase (AST) are estimated for assessing liver function status and their normal range is 11-24 U/L, 14-38U/L, 78-132U/L respectively After delivery post-partum stress may increase serum enzyme level, leading to lower liver function and may cause anorexia and decreased ruminal function. All the medicated animals showed normal ranges of serum enzyme level indicating normal liver function after delivery. They also showed normal feeding and rumination after calving. Uterine inertia, increased globulin, albumin-globulin ratio and increased total protein in blood after delivery are suggestive of endometritis leading to repeat breeding. Serum albumin, globulin and total protein are also estimated at third trimester of pregnancy, and are again estimated immediately after calving (Table 4).

All the eleven animals showed normal ranges of Serum albumin, globulin and proteins in their blood. Repeat breeding leads to increase inter calving period and may cause economic loss in dairy farming. During pregnancy supplementation with DK showed significantly improved uterine tone after delivery and blood parameters of albumin, globulin and total protein. Hence, incidence of endometritis is reduced after calving. This study of supplementation with Dhanwandharam Kashayam indicated control of post-partum complications. A study using larger number of cows is needed for detailed understanding of the effect of DK in reducing the post-partum complication in cattle.

Does Your Dog Have Leaky Gut? The new buzz phrase in your dog is leaky gut syndrome. Sound scary? It is! I’ll tell you why and what you can do about it to regain your dog’s health and happiness. Spreading the word about leaky gut through my own experience is very important to me. I often seem to find myself speaking from what I like to call “a place in the trenches” or “empirical proof“ – but then I’m quickly reminded by my long term animal health team that it more often came from a place of “you just had to figure it out.” Early Experience With Leaky Gut Syndrome I’ve been recommending raw dog food since 1994 and have seen unimaginable health improvements in dogs switched from kibble to a real whole food, species-specific diet. As my practice evolved and years went by, I began to see more and more patients who’d already transitioned to raw food. In the last few years I’ve also started to see more and more dogs suffering from allergies, auto-immune diseases and, of course, cancer. There were many times when I sat at my veterinary clinic long after my clients had gone home, scratching my head about why we were seeing an influx of these diseases when many dogs were on a beautiful raw food diet. Why did some dogs do so well for so long, then all of a sudden start to react with an inflammatory response? Why were some of them okay on a novel protein diet but then had sudden reac-tions to all proteins, including the ones that had tested negative on allergy tests six months prior? Then there were the ones who were allergic to trees, grass, mites and other environmental factors. One day I was geeking out on the physiology of a cat patient that had interstitial cystitis (when the lining of the bladder starts to leak). I realized that if the mu-cosal lining of the bladder can leak, then so can the mucosal lining of the gut. This could explain why all these dogs were over-reacting to so many foods and environmental allergens. We had amazing results treating interstitial cystitis in cats, so I started working on dogs with skin conditions using a similar protocol to the one I came up with for the cats. And it worked! What Is Leaky Gut? Leaky gut syndrome is an increasingly widespread condition in both animals and humans, yet it’s still not well known in the medical community. Leaky gut in dogs is exactly what it sounds like. The delicate intestinal mucosa that lines the gut and allows tiny digested nutrients to pass through to the blood stream can be likened to cheesecloth or a tea strainer. This is how nutrition is assimilated into the body – but this lining also acts as an incredibly important barrier to keep out toxins, pathogens and undigested food particles. The mucosa becomes traumatized and inflamed, causing the junctions (the spaces in the cheesecloth) to become stretched or damaged to the point where they’re no longer able to filter out larger food particles, bacteria and toxins. These substances can now pass through the intestinal wall and make their way into the blood stream and lymphatics. This sets off a series of events in the body, which begins with the liver working over-time to screen out the particles; it has no chance of keeping up with the onslaught, and the pathogens begin to accumulate. The immune system is then triggered to fight the intruders, but it too becomes overwhelmed, leading to particles being absorbed into body tissues. This causes inflammation; but even worse, the immune system can attack these intruders, which can lead to autoimmune disease. The body starts to perceive food as its enemy – the reason we see so many dogs who are allergic or reactive to almost every protein and many vegetables and grains. This leaves little to choose from when it comes to feeding, in addition to the challenges of allergies to grass, pollen and more; but more importantly, and sadly, the result is an animal who’s in a chronic and constant state of inflammation and distress. Causes Of Leaky Gut In Dogs 3 Primary Causes Of Leaky Gut 1. Poor Diet Specifically highly processed, grain based foods containing wheat, rice, spelt and soy, food additives and preservatives; the lectin found in unsprouted grains; sugar; genetically modified foods (GMOs); pasteurized dairy; and meat from stressed factory-farmed animals. 2. Drugs And Other Toxins This category includes the unnecessary use of steroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), deworming drugs, flea and tick treatments (many contain pesticides) and antibiotics (leading to an imbalance of healthy gut flora, also known as dysbiosis). 3. Over-vaccination When the body is forced to respond to a vaccine to which it has already established antibodies, this wreaks havoc on the immune system and can cause a number of chronic diseases. Chronic stress or boredom can also influence gut health. Not getting enough exercise or mental stimulation, or being left home alone for long periods, can be a major cause of stress for a pack animal. Stress negatively affects the immune and digestive systems. Why Is Leaky Gut So Scary? It’s because it’s hidden! You can see trauma in a joint by watching your dog limp, or on the skin as a lesion or wound. We treat the trauma … it’s pretty simple. But gut trauma is hidden trauma and we can’t fix what we can’t see! Because it’s left untreated and unhealed, it becomes more chronic and more dangerous to your dog’s overall health. You start to see symptoms that in conventional medicine are diagnosed as a disease or infection. Treatment begins for that disease and the hamster wheel starts spinning. You may see the symptoms disappear but then they return. A recurring ear infection may clear up, but then the dog suffers disorders like hot spots, full blown allergies or hypothyroidism. In many cases this is because the initial trauma causing the disease – leaky gut syndrome – is not healed … because you can’t see it. Leaky gut has been referred to as the “great mimicker,” appearing in the form of many chronic diseases that plague our beloved animals. Examples include (but are not limited to): Diseases of the skin (allergies), thyroid, joints, heart disease, spinal cord, eyes or brain Inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial and chronic cystitis, collapsing trachea, laryngeal paralysis, liver, gallbladder and pancreatic disorders. Behavior problems such as aggression and obsessive-compulsive disorders or self-mutilation. Autoimmune disease and nutritional deficiencies, which, left untreated, could lead to some forms of cancer because of the chronic inflammation. Your dog’s gut is responsible for more than 70 percent of her immune system and is directly responsible for the absorption of all that amazing food you’re feeding her. With an unhealthy gut, no amount of raw food or nutrients will support her health and longevity, let alone heal something like an allergy. How To Prevent Leaky Gut Help Prevent Leaky Gut With These 5 Steps: Stop feeding processed foods and feed a raw, species appropriate diet. Stop routine vaccinations; instead ask your vet for blood titer tests to measure antibody levels. Get a copy of the results and ask a holistic vet to interpret them, as there are differing opinions on what the results actually mean. Stop using chemical flea and tick products that contain pesticides. Use natural products and protocols with proven success. Stop all drugs where possible. Determine your dog’s source of stress. Make the time to go for longer walks or hire a dog walker or someone to check in on them during the day or even add a playmate. Healing Leaky Gut If your dog has had any of the following drugs or foods, the chances are she has some degree of gut trauma that could use support: Antibiotics Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (many pain and arthritis drugs) Steroids Antihistamines Vaccines Flea and tick treatments Years of dry commercial dog foods Support Gut Healing This natural protocol that supports the healing of your dog’s gut is so helpful and safe for her overall health that even without a diagnosis you can go ahead and follow it for six to eight weeks with any dog. It will serve to support a much healthier digestive system, resulting in a healthier body and happier dog. This is a food protocol and does not include supplements. Kefir Or Raw Live Yogurt Look for products from Jersey cows, goats or use coconut kefir. Give 2 Tbsp daily for an average (30 to 50 lb) size dog Fermented Vegetables Work up slowly to 1 to 3 tsp a day for every 20 pounds of body weight. Bone Broth Ideally, make your broth from wild game like deer, moose and pheasant (they have the healthiest bones) or from ethically raised, free range animals. Bones contain: proline, which tightens and builds cell structure; glycine, which supports the synthesis of collagen (which gives your dog a strong cell structure and supports skin and veins); gelatin, glucosamine and minerals, which are the building blocks of the digestive system. Give 1 Tbsp per day to small dogs, 2 Tbsp for medium, 3 Tbsp for large dogs and 4 Tbsp for giant breeds. Phytoplankton A marine antioxidant superfood, which I recommend using in place of fish oil to provide essential fatty acids like DHA (docosahexaenoic acid, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), LA (linoleic acid) and LNA (alpha-linolenic acid). Phytoplankton is single celled and the most complete whole food nutrition I’ve ever used. It’s very helpful with leaky gut because its molecule is smaller than a red blood cell and will supply amino acids, micronutrients and protein while your dog’s gut is healing. It’s very important to choose a reputable source that’s non GMO, grown on land and watered with Atlantic ocean water that’s been filtered for heavy metals – and no fillers! If you find a good source, you’ll only need 1/16 to 1/8 of a tsp per day. Coconut Oil Or Hemp Oil Use Coconut Oil or Hemp Oil to supply medium chain fatty acids. They’re also easier to digest than fish oils without the risk of ran-cidity. Make sure your oil is non-GMO, grown without herbicides or pesticides, cold pressed, hexane free, unrefined and unbleached. Give 1 tsp per 10 pounds of body weight but start with ¼ tsp and work up over a two to three week period. I strongly recommend giving supplements only for a limited time and NOT long term, as well as in small amounts, used synergistically to strengthen the body for long term benefit. Be informed and empowered to take the health of your adored pet into your hands!

Best desi cow ghee buy online

The Role of Ghee in Ayurvedic Treatment

“Ghee is sweet in taste and cooling in energy, rejuvenating, good for the eyes and vision, kindles digestion, bestows luster and beauty, enhances memory and stamina, increases intellect, promotes longevity, is an aphrodisiac and protects the body from various diseases.”

Ghee is ubiquitous in Ayurvedic medicine and Indian cooking alike. An aromatic substance that is solid at room temperature and melts into a liquid as it warms; ghee is made by boiling off the milk solids from unsalted butter, leaving only the golden oil behind. No other substance is as widely used to prepare Ayurvedic medications as ghee.

Ghee & Ayurveda

In Ayurveda, ghee is used as a carrier for the nutrients and herbs and to lubricate the intestinal tract and all the tissues inside the body. During an Ayurvedic cleanse, it is used as the preferred vehicle for operation. Oleation is the process of ingesting increasing amounts of oil over a series of mornings. The process typically helps pull stubborn fat-soluble toxins out of the cells and triggers fat metabolism, a process whereby the body begins to burn its own fat for fuel. This Active Ancient Ingredient is also made by your Gut!

Butter is the raw material from which ghee is made. The primary fatty acid in butter is also known as butyric acid and it is something that the intestinal wall thrives on. Butyric acid, also known as butyrate, helps to protect the gut wall. Much of the healthy fiber that we eat feeds the microbes in the gut which in turn convert this into butyric acid, the primary ingredient in ghee.

In Ayurveda, taking ghee internally through ingestion and ghee enemas (Ayurvedic oil enemas are referred to as basti) has been done for thousands of years to support intestinal health and function. Ancient practices don’t always require us all to jump right in. It does, however, encourage us to look deeply into techniques that have lasted thousands of years and find the science behind them. Often times, the research provides fascinating insight and explanation.

Why Do a Ghee Cleanse?

When people think of cleansing, they think of a juice cleanse, eliminating sugar, dairy, and wheat from the diet, or fasting. Ayurveda takes a different approach and instructs people to take increasing amounts of melted ghee every morning for a series of days coinciding with a non-fat diet. This cleanse protocol may make you rethink your idea of detoxing, as the benefits extend far beyond flushing toxins. Listed below are top 10 reasons to cleanse with ghee:

1. Flushes old bile from the body. 2. stimulates the new bile, so 94% of old toxic bile is not re-absorbed. 3. Scrubs the intestines of toxins and bad bugs 4. Supports the primary source of energy and immunity for the cells of the gut. 5. Supports the primary source of energy and immunity for the cells of the gut 6. Supports the health of the beneficial bacteria in the gut who make butyrate 7. Pulls stored fat-soluble toxins and molecules of emotion out of the body 8. Encourages fat metabolism and weight loss 9. Supports stable mood and energy levels 10. Supports the body’s natural defense mechanisms against bad bacteria and overgrowth.

Bill Proposed to Ban Drinking Milk From Hoofed Animals

Who should decide what type of milk you’re allowed to drink or serve to your children? Introduced in Tennessee by Sen. Richard Briggs, Senate Bill 15 (SB15) suggests amending a Tennessee code relating to milk products to make it illegal for a partial owner of a hoofed animal to drink the milk from said animal.1

While graciously allowing a person who is the sole owner of a hoofed mammal to drink the milk personally, the bill is aimed at snuffing out herdshare programs. Congress has never banned raw milk outright, but it’s banned in interstate commerce, which means small farmers can’t transport it across state lines.

Private agreements called herdshares are often formed between farmers and individuals as a result, which entitle you to the benefits of owning a "share" of a cow, such as a certain amount of milk each week.

However, SB15 would not only make it illegal for herdshare owners to obtain raw milk, but it would also become against the law for the farmer running a herdshare to drink milk from their own cow (or other hoofed mammal), as they would not be considered a “sole owner.”

“[W]hether you own a three-quarter, one-half, one-quarter or 1/100 interest in a cow, it doesn’t matter; it would be illegal to get milk from your cow,” the Weston A. Price Foundation explained.

“Even if you board the cow on your own property, it’s illegal to drink milk from the cow unless you are a 100 percent owner; in other words, herdshare farmers can’t drink milk from cows or other dairy animals on their property unless they own animals outside of the herdshare agreement.”2

‘It’s a Liberty Issue’

SB15 is posed as a bill to protect the public welfare, but raw milk is a nutritious and safe food when it comes from cows raised on pasture.

Many other foods cause more illnesses and deaths but are not subject to the same scrutiny as raw milk. Suzanne Thomspon, a dairy farmer in Madisonville, Tennessee, told WTOL News, "I think it's a liberty issue. If people want to drink raw milk from their cow, then that's what they should be able to do."3

Thomspon stands to lose her farm, which is her livelihood that she planned to pass down to her daughter, if the bill passes. And she pointed out the irony in targeting raw milk when other foods are the subject of regular illness outbreaks. "There was a huge romaine lettuce recall in 2018,” she said. “No one is suggesting we pasteurize lettuce.”4

Briggs reportedly introduced SB15 to close the herdsharing “loophole” after 10 children in the state were sickened by E. coli that was blamed on drinking raw milk from a Knoxville shareholder dairy. But according to Weston A. Price, “No E. coli was found in any of the dairy’s milk that public health officials tested.”

“This was the second foodborne illness outbreak blamed on raw milk consumption in the nearly 10 years that herd share agreements have been legal in Tennessee,” they continued. “If two outbreaks in 10 years are enough to ban a food then many other foods would be illegal to obtain as well.”5

The Two Kinds of Raw Milk in the US (Only One Fit for Drinking)

There was a period of time, from 1860 to the 1920s, when raw milk went through what Mark McAfee, founder and chairman of the Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI), describes as a “dark age.”

The cow diets, combined with unsanitary conditions, raw sewage mixed with water and lack of refrigeration, led to the spread of diseases like tuberculosis and typhoid. A lot of people died from raw milk that came from these unsanitary distillery dairies raising malnourished cows.

The same could be said today should anyone choose to drink raw milk from cows raised on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Most commercial dairy comes from CAFOs, and it is not suitable for raw consumption. In fact, although this type of milk is regulated according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), it has no requirement that the milk be tested for pathogens.

It can legally contain high levels of bacteria because it’s intended to be shipped off for pasteurization. Milk produced under the PMO is collected from many dairies and combined together at the creamery for processing and the production of final processed dairy products,” RAWMI notes.6 It has to be pasteurized, as drinking this type of CAFO milk raw could easily make you sick.

The other raw milk is that produced with the intent of being directly consumed by humans, without pasteurization. While there are no national regulations for human consumption of raw milk, individual states may have their own. RAWMI has also created standards to ensure its quality and safety, which include:7

Have a Risk Analysis and Management Plan (RAMP) for raw milk production; this is a basic food safety plan that includes risk assessment and mitigation for milk handling, manure management, feed sources, human factors (such as health of the milking team), nutritional management of the cow, cleaning protocol, health screening of animals and much more.

Raw milk shall not contain zoonotic pathogens including salmonella, E. coli, campylobacter and listeria.

Testing for coliform bacteria, with a target rate of less than 10 coliforms per milliliter (ml) raw milk over a three-month average

Testing for Standard Plate Count, with a rolling three-month average of less than 5,000 per ml raw milk.

Sell raw milk for direct human consumption only from their own farm (not comingled with raw milk from other dairies)

Provide documentation and assurance that herds are tuberculosis (TB) free and tested once per year or meet local TB requirements.

Provide documentation or assurance that herds are brucellosis free.

Are There Health Benefits of Raw Milk?

You may be surprised to learn that in Europe, raw milk vending machines are not unusual. Self-service machines may be found at farmers markets and small farms as well as in shopping centers and near schools and playgrounds in England, Austria, Czech Republic, Greece, France, Ireland, Germany and several other countries.8

Many people seek out this milk not only for its taste and creaminess, but also for its health benefits. Children who drink raw milk have a lower risk of developing allergies and asthma, for instance.9 And early human studies suggested raw milk was superior to pasteurized milk in protecting against infection, diarrhea, rickets, tooth decay and tuberculosis.10

Raw milk also contains protective components that aren’t found in pasteurized milk, including antibodies and beneficial bacteria that help kill pathogens in the milk, as well as compounds that prevent pathogen absorption across the intestinal wall. There are a variety of immune-strengthening components in raw milk as well, including lymphocytes, immunoglobulins and growth factors.11

There’s also alkaline phosphatase, an enzyme found in raw milk, that’s known to be anti-inflammatory, along with fat-soluble vitamins, including A, D and K2, vitamin E and beta-carotene and the healthy fats omega-3 and cancer-fighting conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Other vitamins in raw milk include B1, 2, 6 and 12, folic acid, C and niacin.12,13

Raw milk is also free from thickening agents that are found in many low-fat dairy products and is not subjected to homogenization, which pasteurized milk goes through to break down fat particles, oxidizing them in the process.

While raw milk is noninflammatory and inhibits MAST cell release of histamines, pasteurized milk is the most allergenic food in the U.S., McAfee notes. He also points out that pasteurized milk is often associated with lactose intolerance and is often not digestible by children, whereas raw milk is highly digestible and gut friendly.

Which Foods Cause the Most Illness Outbreaks?

According to U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics, of all the foodborne outbreaks between 2009 and 2015, chicken was responsible for the most, followed by pork and seeded vegetables.14 Further, at least one multistate E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce may have been caused by runoff from a nearby CAFO into a canal; water from the canal was used to irrigate the lettuce.15

From ice cream to romaine lettuce, many foods have caused widespread illness in the U.S., but none have been banned or targeted for restrictive legislation as a result. So why is raw milk being singled out?

“There have been numerous and deadly foodborne illness outbreaks in the past few years involving ice cream, cantaloupe, and romaine lettuce, and there have been no calls to ban any of those foods,” the Weston A. Price Foundation noted. “Raw milk should be no different. There shouldn’t be any double standard. Raw milk has a good overall track record for safety.”16

An analysis by Dr. Ted Beals, a retired physician and board certified pathologist, who once served on the faculty of University of Michigan Medical School, shows that most raw milk may be associated with an average of 42 illnesses a year out of the more than 9 million people who choose to consume it.

“Using this average of 42 illnesses per year, we can show, using government figures, that you are about 35,000 times more likely to become ill from other foods than you are from raw milk,” Beals says.17

You Have a Right to Food Freedom

Ultimately, whether you drink milk or not, and whether it’s raw or pasteurized, it’s a personal choice — and it should remain that way. You have the right to choose what to eat, regardless of the government’s opinion on what’s healthy or what’s not.

Once a healthy food like raw milk is outlawed, it’s s slippery slope of what other foods may next be deemed too “dangerous” for the public. Sustainable agriculture pioneer and farmer Joel Salatin shared his thoughts on the absurdity of making it illegal to drink milk from your own cow:18

“Safety is highly subjective. I don’t think it’s safe to drink three cans of Coca-Cola a day, but that’s legal. I don’t think it’s safe to eat veggie burgers, but people do. If we’re going to pick and choose everything that could be unsafe and outlaw it, we might as well all go live in a bubble room and put on respirators. We pick and choose risks. Some eat at McDonald’s; others don’t.

Some take the flu vaccine; others don’t. The critical thing to understand is that if the government is responsible for my health, then it necessarily has a fiduciary responsibility to penetrate every health-impactful decision I make in order to protect itself from economic liability.

It comes down to who owns the person. As long as the state owns the person, which is where America is right now, nothing is beyond the regulatory purview of the police, the ultimate enforcer of the laws.

As the state micromanages our lives, the need for more police to enforce those regulations increases. The more police, the less freedom. Any society needing more police per capita is a society heading toward tyranny.”

If you want to get involved, the Weston A. Price Foundation has compiled the following action plan to voice your opinion about SB15 — and the fight to keep food freedom intact.19

Email the members of the Senate Commerce and Labor Committee asking them not to hold a hearing on SB15 and asking that they vote against the bill if a hearing is held.

Call and/or email Sen. Briggs and ask him to withdraw SB15.

Call and/or email Rep. Patsy Hazelwood, the sponsor of the companion bill banning herdshares in the Tennessee General Assembly and tell her to withdraw the herdshare bill.

Bill Proposed to Ban Drinking Milk From Hoofed Animals

Who should decide what type of milk you’re allowed to drink or serve to your children? Introduced in Tennessee by Sen. Richard Briggs, Senate Bill 15 (SB15) suggests amending a Tennessee code relating to milk products to make it illegal for a partial owner of a hoofed animal to drink the milk from said animal.1

While graciously allowing a person who is the sole owner of a hoofed mammal to drink the milk personally, the bill is aimed at snuffing out herdshare programs. Congress has never banned raw milk outright, but it’s banned in interstate commerce, which means small farmers can’t transport it across state lines.

Private agreements called herdshares are often formed between farmers and individuals as a result, which entitle you to the benefits of owning a “share” of a cow, such as a certain amount of milk each week.

However, SB15 would not only make it illegal for herdshare owners to obtain raw milk, but it would also become against the law for the farmer running a herdshare to drink milk from their own cow (or other hoofed mammal), as they would not be considered a “sole owner.”

“[W]hether you own a three-quarter, one-half, one-quarter or 1/100 interest in a cow, it doesn’t matter; it would be illegal to get milk from your cow,” the Weston A. Price Foundation explained.

“Even if you board the cow on your own property, it’s illegal to drink milk from the cow unless you are a 100 percent owner; in other words, herdshare farmers can’t drink milk from cows or other dairy animals on their property unless they own animals outside of the herdshare agreement.”2

‘It’s a Liberty Issue’

SB15 is posed as a bill to protect the public welfare, but raw milk is a nutritious and safe food when it comes from cows raised on pasture.

Many other foods cause more illnesses and deaths but are not subject to the same scrutiny as raw milk. Suzanne Thomspon, a dairy farmer in Madisonville, Tennessee, told WTOL News, “I think it’s a liberty issue. If people want to drink raw milk from their cow, then that’s what they should be able to do.”3

Thomspon stands to lose her farm, which is her livelihood that she planned to pass down to her daughter, if the bill passes. And she pointed out the irony in targeting raw milk when other foods are the subject of regular illness outbreaks. “There was a huge romaine lettuce recall in 2018,” she said. “No one is suggesting we pasteurize lettuce.”4

Briggs reportedly introduced SB15 to close the herdsharing “loophole” after 10 children in the state were sickened by E. coli that was blamed on drinking raw milk from a Knoxville shareholder dairy. But according to Weston A. Price, “No E. coli was found in any of the dairy’s milk that public health officials tested.”

“This was the second foodborne illness outbreak blamed on raw milk consumption in the nearly 10 years that herd share agreements have been legal in Tennessee,” they continued. “If two outbreaks in 10 years are enough to ban a food then many other foods would be illegal to obtain as well.”5

The Two Kinds of Raw Milk in the US (Only One Fit for Drinking)

There was a period of time, from 1860 to the 1920s, when raw milk went through what Mark McAfee, founder and chairman of the Raw Milk Institute (RAWMI), describes as a “dark age.”

The cow diets, combined with unsanitary conditions, raw sewage mixed with water and lack of refrigeration, led to the spread of diseases like tuberculosis and typhoid. A lot of people died from raw milk that came from these unsanitary distillery dairies raising malnourished cows.

The same could be said today should anyone choose to drink raw milk from cows raised on concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Most commercial dairy comes from CAFOs, and it is not suitable for raw consumption. In fact, although this type of milk is regulated according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO), it has no requirement that the milk be tested for pathogens.

It can legally contain high levels of bacteria because it’s intended to be shipped off for pasteurization. Milk produced under the PMO is collected from many dairies and combined together at the creamery for processing and the production of final processed dairy products,” RAWMI notes.6 It has to be pasteurized, as drinking this type of CAFO milk raw could easily make you sick.

The other raw milk is that produced with the intent of being directly consumed by humans, without pasteurization. While there are no national regulations for human consumption of raw milk, individual states may have their own. RAWMI has also created standards to ensure its quality and safety, which include:7

Does Full-Fat Dairy Promote Heart Disease? Research Says No

By Dr. Mercola

Whole milk, cheese and butter have long been demonized as unhealthy, their saturated fat content incorrectly identified as a driver of obesity, heart disease and related health problems. We now know eating fat does not make you fat. Science has also demolished the idea that saturated fats clog your arteries and promote heart disease. On the contrary, these fats are important for optimal health, and actually combat many of today's chronic diseases, including heart disease.

While the low-fat myth still lives, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines for Americans1,2 does recognize that reducing TOTAL fat intake has no bearing on obesity or heart disease risk.

Instead, the guidelines rightfully warn that sugar and refined grains are the primary culprits. Unfortunately, the guidelines fall far short by still suggesting a 10 percent limit on saturated fats specially, and the low-fat dairy recommendation remains. This, despite the fact that mounting research supports consumption of full-fat dairy products over low-fat ones.

Full-Fat Dairy Consumption Has No Influence on Mortality Rates

In a recent article in The Atlantic,3 senior editor Dr. James Hamblin discusses "the vindication" of full-fat dairy, and the research that's tossing low-fat recommendations by the wayside. One of the most recent studies,4 which analyzed the blood fats in more than 2,900 adults, found the mortality rate during a 22-year period was identical regardless of their levels. "The implication is that it didn't matter if people drank whole or skim or 2-percent milk …" Hamblin writes.

At the end of the day, consumption of dairy fats — either high or low — does not appear to influence your risk of death. Corresponding author Marcia de Oliveira Otto, assistant professor of epidemiology, human genetics and environmental science at the University of Texas School of Public Health, told Hamblin, "I think the big news here is that even though there is this conventional wisdom that whole-fat dairy is bad for heart disease, we didn't find that. And it's not only us. A number of recent studies have found the same thing."

For example, a systematic review and meta-analysis5 published in 2014, which looked at 32 observational studies with well over half a million participants, came to the conclusion that "Current evidence does not clearly support cardiovascular guidelines that encourage high consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids and low consumption of total saturated fats."

Otto did note, however, that whole milk is likely a healthier choice for the fact that low-fat products contain added sugars, and excessive sugar consumption, as you probably know, raises your risk of virtually all chronic disease.

Also, while dairy consumption overall had no impact on mortality, Otto's team found certain saturated dairy fats did have specific health benefits. For example, those with higher levels of heptadecanoic acid — a component of butterfat — had a 42 percent lower risk of stroke. Other studies have found heptadecanoic acid may also help reverse prediabetes,6 and full-fat dairy such as whole milk has been linked to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes.

Raw Versus Pasteurized Milk

No discussion about dairy would be complete without mentioning there's a big difference between pasteurized dairy products and raw ones. Milk can only be consumed in its raw, unpasteurized state if the milk comes from organically-raised, grass fed cows. Animals raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) are not only routinely fed antibiotics and other drugs, making their milk unsuitable for raw consumption, their living conditions promote disease that necessitates pasteurization to kill of pathogens.

From a nutritional perspective, the differences in diet also play a significant role. Raw, grass fed cow's milk contains a number of health-promoting components that you simply cannot get from pasteurized CAFO milk.

The grain- and sugar-based diets of CAFO cows alter their digestive health and the nutritional composition of the milk. According to a 2015 study7 in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, children who drink raw milk have lower rates of viral and respiratory tract infections, including regular colds. According to the authors:

"Early life consumption of raw cow's milk reduced the risk of manifest respiratory infections and fever by about 30 percent … [T]he public health impact of minimally processed but pathogen-free milk might be enormous, given the high prevalence of respiratory infections in the first year of life and the associated direct and indirect costs."

As evidenced in other studies, they confirmed that raw milk boosts immune function and lowers inflammation, as revealed by reductions in C-reactive protein levels among raw milk drinkers. Raw milk also contains:

Healthy bacteria (probiotics) that nourish your gut microbiome

Beneficial raw fats, amino acids, and proteins in a highly bioavailable form, all 100 percent digestible

More than 60 digestive enzymes, growth factors and immunoglobulins (antibodies). These enzymes are destroyed during pasteurization, making pasteurized milk harder to digest

Vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K in highly bioavailable forms. Also has a balanced blend of minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and iron) the absorption of which is enhanced by live lactobacilli

Phosphatase, an enzyme that aids and assists in the absorption of calcium in your bones, and lipase enzyme, which helps to hydrolyze and absorb fats

Healthy unoxidized cholesterol

High amounts of omega-3 fats while being low in inflammatory omega-6

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has a number of health-promoting benefits, including anti-cancer activity

Is Raw Milk Dangerous?

While the authors suggest that raw milk may have health hazards that need to be overcome, such fears are vastly overblown, and their views are probably just reflecting the official propaganda against raw milk, which appears to be more about protecting the CAFO dairy industry than protecting consumers against truly dangerous products.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) insist that raw milk will increase your risk of death and disease, but Europe — where raw milk consumption is far more common — is not experiencing this issue, and foodborne illness statistics offer no support for such fears whatsoever. In fact, research8 by Dr. Ted Beals shows you're 35,000 times more likely to get sick from any other food than raw milk.

Both the FDA and USDA warn that raw milk can carry disease-causing bacteria, — completely ignoring and overlooking the fact that these bacteria are the result of industrial farming practices that lead to diseased animals. Healthy animals raised on pasture simply will not harbor dangerous amounts of pathogenic bacteria. The only way their raw milk warning would make sense is if it specified that you should never drink unpasteurized CAFO milk, as that could indeed be disastrous.

Grass fed milk, on the other hand, rarely ever poses a health risk when consumed raw, provided the producer is following good, sanitary practices, and organic dairy farms are required to follow stricter protocols in this regard. An investigation by Mark McAfee, CEO of Organic Pastures Dairy — which included a FOIA request to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for data on deaths claimed to be related to raw milk — revealed:9

There have been no reported deaths from raw milk in California

The two deaths the CDC lists as being related to raw milk were actually due to illegal Mexican bathtub cheese, and not raw milk produced in the U.S.

The last people to die from milk died from contaminated pasteurized milk

According to a Cornell study performed on CDC data, 1,100 illnesses were linked to raw milk between 1973 and 2009. Meanwhile, 422,000 illnesses were caused by pasteurized milk. While no one died from raw milk, there were at least 50 deaths from pasteurized milk or pasteurized cheese

Research Exonerates High-Fat Cheese

As with whole dairy, research into the health effects of cheese have come to exonerating conclusions as well. As reported by Joanna Maricato, an analyst at New Nutrition Business, in 2015:10

"In the past, studies focused on analyzing individual nutrients and their effects on the body. Now, there is a growing tendency to look at foods and food groups as a whole … As a consequence, amazing results are appearing from studies on dairy and particularly cheese, proving that the combination of nutrients in cheese has many promising health benefits that were never considered in the past."

For example, research published in 2016 found eating high-fat cheese helps improve your health by raising your high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.11 Higher HDL levels are thought to be protective against metabolic diseases and heart disease. Nearly 140 adults were enrolled in the 12-week study to investigate the biological effects of full-fat cheese.

Divided into three groups, the first two were told to eat either 80 grams of high-fat or reduced fat cheese each day. The third group ate 90 grams of bread and jam each day, with no cheese. None of the groups saw any significant changes in their low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but the high-fat cheese group increased their HDLs.

Another study12 published that same year showed that cheese consumption helps prevent fatty liver and improves triglyceride and cholesterol levels — parameters used to gauge your cardiovascular disease risk. Studies have also found that full-fat cheese can be useful for weight management.13 In one, they found it helps ramp up your metabolism, thereby reducing your obesity risk.14

Roquefort cheese in particular has been linked to cardiovascular health and improved longevity, courtesy of its anti-inflammatory properties.15,16 Cheese — especially when made from the milk of grass-pastured animals — is also an excellent source of several nutrients that are important for health, including:

High-quality protein and amino acids

High-quality saturated fats and omega-3 fats

Vitamins and minerals, including calcium, zinc, phosphorus, vitamins A, D, B2 (riboflavin) and B12

Vitamin K2 (highest amounts can be found in Gouda, Brie, Edam. Other cheeses with lesser, but significant, levels of K2: Cheddar, Colby, hard goat cheese, Swiss and Gruyere)

CLA, a powerful cancer-fighter and metabolism booster

Butter and Fermented Raw Dairy Are Superior Choices

While raw, whole milk provides plenty of valuable health benefits, it is still high in natural sugars, and could easily throw you out of ketosis if you're on a cyclical ketogenic diet. You can still reap the benefits of raw dairy, though, by including cheese, butter and fermented products such as kefir or yogurt made from raw, grass fed milk.

Personally, I go through anywhere from half to a full pound of raw butter every week, typically on sweet potatoes that I consume after my strength training sessions. Studies have linked butter consumption to a number of health benefits, including a lower risk of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, asthma and obesity. It also promotes thyroid health and good digestion, and supports fertility and growth and development in children.

Raw, organic yogurt and kefir have the added benefits of being lower in sugar and providing you with high amounts of probiotics, both of which are side effects of the fermentation process. Store bought yogurt and kefir really cannot compare though. For starters, they're typically chockfull of added sugars, which nourish disease-causing bacteria in your gut. And, since they are pasteurized, commercial yogurt and kefir contain only the probiotics added back in afterward. These facts apply to both organic and nonorganic brands.

Many may also contain artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors and additives, none of which will do your gut and overall health any favors. The good news is yogurt and kefir are both easy to make at home, provided you have access to raw milk. For guidance and instructions, see "How to Make Fresh Homemade Yogurt." If for whatever reason you still prefer to buy ready-made products, the Cornucopia Institute's Yogurt Report17 can guide you toward the healthiest commercial alternatives.
