The crop response to different N sources (i.e. organic versus mineral fertilizers), however, is unclear. In a study at two sites in eastern Canada, mineral N fertilizers resulted in higher forage yields than manure during the first and second year of a three-year study, with no differences...
This ability is attributable to a unique digestive system that consists of a four-compartment stomach capable of handling roughages not digested by human beings and other monogastric (one-stomached) animals. Pasture is the natural feed for dairy cattle, and an abundance of good pasture provides ...

Milk’s mineral content includes calcium and phosphorus in quantities sufficient for normal skeletal development, but little iron. Milk...
