DO ON-FARM FEEDING SYSTEMS INFLUENCE FLAVOUR, TEXUTURE AND COMPOSITION OF CHEESE?
Introduction
Preliminary results from a study done in the USA suggest bovine feeding systems do indeed influence milk and cheese.
Feeding systems evaluated were grazing based, grazing with a corn-grain supplement [common supplement to increase milk production] and a silage-based total mixed ration feed.
** Refer to the article attached for more information on how different feeding treatments can for example influence the cheese yield, as well as result in colour and textural differences.
