Seasonal effects of milk components
When is the best time for a dairy nutritionist to make himself a hero? The answer is probably late summer. Why? There are strong seasonal effects on milk fat and protein contents, and the dip in milk components in the summer months usually starts to come back in August or September. The seasonal increase in milk components will certainly make a nutritionist looks great and may help him or her secure new customers! Seize the time seize the moment!
