Butterfat Now a Major Vitamin A Source Says USDA
Comprehensive studies across the United States show butterfat delivering 11 000 to 18 000 units of vitamin A per pound with an average above 15 000. The Department of Agriculture notes milk supplies about 1 530 units per quart and the typical person consumes roughly 2 340 of the 5 000 daily unit requirement. Cattle feeding and better preservation of hay and silage could raise milk fat vitamin A substantially.
