Vitamin E Improves Milk Flavor in Cows Study
Washington reports that feeding cows vitamin E reduces oxidized milk flavor. University of Maryland chemist Dr. Raymond L. King found that supplementing dry-ration cows with vitamin E and copper minimizes off flavors, with flavor stability returning after stopping the supplement. He notes future work to stabilize milk flavor without added diet.

Castro plans artificial insemination to boost Cuban dairy output
In Santa Clara Cuba Prime Minister Fidel Castro announced a nationwide program to inseminate all dairy cows to increase beef and milk production. Over 1,100 technicians have graduated from the National Artificial Insemination School with 1,600 more expected to graduate in the coming year. Castro sees the project as a way to feed Cubans and earn hard currency from beef exports by crossing local Cebu cattle with Holstein and Brown Swiss to maximize beef and milk capacity. By year’s end about one million cows are being inseminated, with private herds to be included as the plan expands.
