 | | This is called crop milk, and it resembles mammalian milk in that it is rich in fat and protein, however, it lacks carbohydrates and calcium, and contains no milk sugar (lactose). | | | Often, this may be mistaken for a tumor or abnormality in the neck, especially when the crop is empty and the bird is sitting comfortably. | | | The crop, in baby parrots, is very large, and shrinks down as the bird weans. |

| | Mourning Dove |
| | Mourning Doves feed their nestlings crop milk or "pigeon milk," which is secreted by the crop lining. | | | Crop milk, which is regurgitated by both adults, is the exclusive food of hatchlings for three days, after which it is gradually replaced by a diet of seeds. | | | Their crops fill quickly with seeds and digestion, aided by swallowed grit, occurs while the birds are resting, often in groups perched in trees or on wires. |

| | Milk Snake Phase Corns - WWW.SERPENCO.COM |
| | Generally speaking, the ones that are labeled as Milk Snake Phase corns will be the cream of the crop, but it is quite possible for an exceptional Miami Phase and a so-so Milk Snake Phase to look very similar. | | | The name 'Milk Snake Phase' was applied to a corn snake that I hatched out in 1984 when I lived in Maryland. | | | One is to produce Milk Snake Phase corns with saddles and bands, rather than the more typical blotches. |

| | THE AGRONOMY OF DAIRY FARMING IN NEW YORK STATE |
| | Dairy farming in New York State is fairly typical of the region surrounding the Great Lakes of North America, sometimes called the "dairy belt." The agriculture across the dairy belt is mixed, with fruit, vegetable, and cash crop production being locally important. | | | Second, refrigerated transport of milk into the cities was initiated as a means of meeting the demand for milk; and third, the technology for producing corn silage made winter milk production possible in face of a year-round demand for milk. | | | Total dairy farm assets were about $13 billion with on-farm milk sales of about $1.4 billion. |

| | In East Asia, soybeans are used in a multitude of forms, e.g., as soy sauce, soybean meal, vegetable oil, tofu (bean curd), miso (fermented soybean paste), and soy milk, and as a coffee substitute. | | | As a crop, soybeans are high in yield and easy to harvest; they grow well wherever corn is cultivated. | | | The green crop is used for forage and hay, and the cake as stock feed and as fertilizer. |

| | Family Farm Defenders : Home Page |
| | Cooperatives allowed farmers to join together to buy feed, seed and supplies; sell their milk, grain and livestock; protect their farms with fire, wind and crop insurance. | | | Given that alfalfa is a common perennial forage and cover crop used in a wide variety of animal feeds and even eaten by humans, this latest move by Monsanto to bring another genetically modified organism (GMO) into the world is now ringing alarm bells across rural America. | | | But the fine print of their ingredient list tells a different story - the fifth ingredient on that list is something called "Milk Protein Concentrate." This ingredient, called MPC for short, is an unregulated, untested substance that is far from the wholesome milk Kraft brags about. |

| | The above results notwithstanding, polyculture of prawn with milk-fish still remains a good prospect for developing countries -with either milkfish alone as main crop and prawn as secondary crop or vice versa. | | | Mean survival rates were 94.03 percent for prawn and 99.0 percent for milkfish in polyculture; and 82.13 percent for prawn and 92.33 percent for milk-fish for the polyculture system. | | | Ponds 1, 2 and 6 were used for rearing milkfish and prawn in polyculture; Ponds 4, 5 and 7 for prawn in monoculture; and Ponds 3 and 8 for rearing milkfish in monoculture system. |

| | The Crop Circular: dowsing and psychic connection |
| | The first crop circle below Milk Hill generated a line that extended eastwards to the East Field at Alton Priors, a standard location for crop circles in prior years; the other line ran off in the direction of Roundway but was not active at the time. | | | When a serpent design appeared at Alton Priors it did so upon the said east/west line from Milk Hill (a second formation nearby later proved to have been hoaxed, and it did not register any EM energy). | | | Given this route, the Sugar Hill formation gave precise coordinates for the next crop circle below Hackpen Hill. |

| | August 2001 Bird of the Month - Mourning Dove |
| | Pigeons and doves produce "crop milk," which is a fluid from the lining the crop--a thin-walled, saclike chamber at the bottom of the esophagus. | | | Rather than feeding their young on insects, as do most other seed-eating birds, mourning doves feed them "pigeon's milk," a nourishing liquid produced from the lining of the crop. | | | Although mourning doves are the most widely hunted of all game birds nationwide, they are able to maintain their population because they adapt to virtually every habitat and nest at least twice a year. |

| | Chilean Flamingo Chicks In The Pink, Thanks to Extra "TLC" At The Bronx Zoo |
| | Crop milk is a secretion produced by both male and female flamingos to feed their young. | | | The result was something that the Muppet people would be impressed with – a 24-inch-long sleeve that culminates in a flamingo head complete with a feeding device that delivers “crop milk” to the chicks. | | | The Zoo’s youngest flamingos, hatched on September 15, October 14, and October 29, were brought indoors due to the visit of Hurricane Isobel and the approaching cooler weather. |

| | Pigeon or crop milk is a secretion of the adult crop which forms the complete diet of nestlings for the first few days of life. | | | Pigeons are unusual among birds in that they produce a milk which has a chemical composition similar to that produced by mammals. | | | Crowned pigeons differ from other pigeons in having sixteen instead of twelve tail feathers, in the scaling of their legs, in lacking an oil gland and gall bladder, and in possessing a large, fan-shaped crest of erect lacy feathers. |

| | This poor crop performance is the result of increasingly frequent periods of water stress caused by rainfall deficits (in Brakna, Gorgol, Guidimakha and Hodh El Chargui) and of grasshopper infestations of crops in the maturation-milk grain stage (in Guidimakha, Hodh El Chargui and Hodh El Gharbi). | | | In regions like Hodh El Chargui, where virtually all grain production is from dieri or rainfed highland crops and traditional lowland crops (this region has few dams), only animal products and imports of rice, wheat, mash, flour and grain from Mali can offset the shortfall in rainfed crop production. | | | The Gorgol Noir flooded large portions of the 10,000 hectare Fori Plain area east of Kaëdi, but many farmers, particularly in the department of Monguel, have chosen not to farm this area, discouraged by repeated crop failures over the course of the past several years, preferring instead to join in the so-called "rural exodus." |
