Cows eat herring for new milk

[Ruby Romaine]

Some landlocked Canadian cows are enjoying a little seafood with their hay and grain so they can produce a new kind of milk being touted for its benefits for the brain, eyes and nerves.

The milk, produced by herring-fed cows in Ontario, provides a fatty acid also common in salmon, trout and mackerel to diets of people who don't eat enough fish, said Larry Milligan, a researcher at the University of Guelph, which developed the milk.

Yum-herring milk, why not just feed the cows chocolate?

Is this a good idea to feed cows fish flesh?
