Pink milk problem solved
A farmer whose cows produced pink milk after eating carrots got them to produce normal coloured milk by feeding them white carrots instead.
Peter Houguez from Jersey added carrots to the cows' diet of grass and hay.
After the milk turned pink Mr Houguez contacted his local vet who told him to feed them white carrots, imported from France.
According to the Metro, Mr Houguez said: "The cows go mad for carrots. White carrots taste just same as orange so the problem was solved."
Ian Johnson, of the National Farmers' Union, said cows are fed all sorts of things - including liquorice allsorts.
Mr Johnson said: "Pink milk is probably healthier with all the nutrients from the vegetables."
