Organic milk refers to a number of milk products from livestock raised according to organic farming methods. In most jurisdictions, use of the term "organic" or equivalents like "bio" or "eco", on any product is regulated by food authorities. In general these regulations stipulate that livestock must be: allowed to graze, be fed an organically certified fodder or compound feed, not be treated with most drugs (including growth hormone), and in general must be treated humanely.〔Organic Dairy Industry in Canada, Agriculture Agri-Food Canada http://www.dairyinfo.gc.ca/pdf/organic_profile_eng.pdf〕 There are multiple obstacles to forming firm conclusions regarding possible safety or health benefits from consuming organic milk or conventional milk, including the lack of long term clinical studies.〔 The studies that are available have come to conflicting conclusions with regard to absolute differences in nutrient content between organic and conventionally produced milk, such as protein or fatty acid content.〔〔〔 The weight of available evidence does not support the position that there are any clinically relevant differences between organic and conventionally produced milk, in terms of nutrition or safety.〔 ==Legal definition== (詳細はorganic farming as defined in the jurisdiction where the milk will be sold, and generally must be certified in order to be marketed as organic. In general, these laws require that livestock be allowed to graze on pasture, be fed organic certified feed (which may not include byproducts of animal slaughter), and that the animals not be treated with drugs (although it is also illegal to withhold necessary drugs from a sick animal in order to maintain that animal's organic status). * Australia: NASAA Organic Standard * Canada: * European Union: EU-Eco-regulation * * Sweden: KRAV〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KRAV )〕 * * United Kingdom: DEFRA * Norway: Debio Organic certification * India: NPOP, (National Program for Organic Production)〔(NPOP, (National Program for Organic Production) )〕 * Japan: JAS Standards〔(JAS Standards )〕 * United States: National Organic Program (NOP) Standards 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「organic milk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
