Legislation Urged To End Milk Waste Across Australia
Australia wastes vast milk on farms as 600 million gallons are skimmed to pig feed. Only about 10 percent of skim milk nutrients reach humans, risking billions in lost nutrition. A plan favors keeping whole milk for conversion to dairy products, with improved hay, silage, and pasture feeding to boost herd productivity.
