hay milk

Haymilk (; ) is a dairy milk produced from animals that have mainly been fed fresh grass and (dry) hay, rather than fermented fodder. The milk is thus produced according to the tradition in the Alps. The term haymilk is registered as a traditional speciality guaranteed in the UK and the European Union, and can only be used for milk produced corresponding to those specifications.

==Production== The milk can only be produced from animals that received mainly hay (winter) and "fresh grass, leguminous plants and foliage" in summer, but also roughage such as green rapeseed, green maize, green rye, and fodder beets is permitted. For a maximum of 25%, also cereal crops (wheat, oats, rye, etc.) and beans, field peas, lupins, and oleaginous fruits. Products such as fallen fruit, urea, and potatoes cannot be used as feed, and sewage sludge cannot be used as a fertilizer on the land.
