Cow’s milk remains a key source of iodine in the UK. However, there are concerns around the environmental impact of methane emissions from dairy cattle. Initial work suggests that adding certain seaweed species to the diet of cows can reduce enteric methane emissions and may increase the content of certain minerals such as iodine in milk. Little is known about the simultaneous effect of this feeding practice on milk organoleptic characteristics. This study investigates th...
