Why Choosing Us?
Organic farming is gaining popularity for several reasons. People are increasingly concerned about health and environmental sustainability, leading them to prefer organic produce free from synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. Additionally, organic farms promote biodiversity and healthier soil, which is beneficial for the planet As consumers become more educated about food sources, the demand for organic products continues to rise.
But who runs them?
Former IT employee, government official or someone in good standing! How about farmer?
Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH):
rBGH is a synthetic hormone that stimulates milk production in cows. It's approved for use in some countries, but banned or restricted in others due to concerns about:
1. Animal welfare: Potential increased risk of lameness, mastitis, and reproductive problems.
2. Human health: Uncertainty about the impact of rBGH on human health, particularly regarding insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1).
3. Environmental concerns: Potential effects on water quality and soil health.
Other hormones and injections used to increase milk production include:
1. Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rBST): Similar to rBGH, but with a slightly different mechanism of action.
2. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): Used to stimulate thyroid function, which can increase milk production.
3. Estrogen and progesterone: Used to regulate reproductive cycles and increase milk production.
It's essential to note that:
1. Not all dairy farms use these injections.
2. Some countries have strict regulations or bans on their use.
3. Organic dairy farming prohibits the use of synthetic hormones.
