While milk in a healthy cow should not contain blood or mucus, dairy cows with a common udder infection called mastitis can produce milk with these contaminants. The good news is that stringent testing and regulatory oversight in the dairy industry prevent contaminated milk from reaching consumers.

Dairy cows require a consistent supply of salt, primarily sodium chloride, to support milk production, with deficiencies leading to a significant drop in yield and overall health. However, the best salt isn't a single product but rather a strategic supplementation plan tailored to the cow's specific needs, incorporating essential minerals beyond simple sodium.
