It is the A1 protein that many people seek to avoid by switching from regular cows\u2019 milk to Periyar Dairy Farm Milk. The Periyar Dairy Farm uses comprehensive herd selection to choose cows which don\u2019t produce the A1 protein.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t The single most important factor in producing our delicious Periyar Dairy Farm Milk is to find the right dairy cows. Unlike other dairy farms, we exclusively select cows that naturally produce milk rich in the A2 type of beta-casein (Gir Cows). This is done by using a simple and non-invasive DNA test we have developed, which analyses a sample hair from the tail of each dairy cow. These A2-certified cows are then milked separately to produce pure and natural Periyar Dairy Farm Milk.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Yes, Periyar Dairy Farm Milk is naturally occurring cows\u2019 milk; it\u2019s not a result of a technological process or genetic engineering. We simply select cows that produce only A2 protein.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Our commitment to optimal living standards for all animals involved in and impacted by Periyar Dairy Farm A2 supply is underpinned by a respect for animal welfare, and belief in the positive impact that animal welfare standards can have on milk production and milk quality. Our vision is for a best-in-class animal welfare management system that exceeds Indian dairy industry standards. To help achieve this vision, we engage an independent expert organisation for auditing and certification of the animal welfare management practices on all Periyar Dairy Farm A2 farms.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t Periyar Dairy Farm A2 farms can be frozen.
