Skimmed milk direct from the 'magic' cow Marge
IT may soon be possible to produce skimmed milk straight from the cow - a development that could revolutionise the dairy industry.
Scientists in New Zealand have discovered some cows have genes which give them a natural ability to deliver skimmed milk.
The company identified a cow, Marge, with the required genes. As an added bonus, the milk contains omega-three oils.
"The eureka moment was when we found her daughters produced milk just like their mother," said a company spokesman. The development of a commercial herd is now likely, reports the magazine 'Chemistry & Industry'.
