Due to a higher proportion of forage in the organic ration, with more legumes and other herbs, organic milk quality is more and differently affected by the forage than conventionally produced milk, which is often based on grass silage. But the knowledge of the chemical and sensory characteristics of organic milk is limited, and not much research has been carried out on organic grassland management and milk salutary properties. The PHYTOMILK project will give increased knowledge about the nutritional and salutary quality of organic milk. It will also increase the knowledge of the relationship between production systems, environmental conditions and milk properties.
