Vitamins are measured in "international units."

RAW MILK contains approximately 40 IU (international units) per liter. Pasteurized, fortified, reduced fat milk, specifically 2% milk, contains about 105 IU a cup -- which works out to a little over 443 IU every liter.

The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) establishes standards for different types of milk and milk products. Some states use these standards, while others have their own standards. Prior to 1998, the federal standards required that fluid milk sold as whole milk must have no less than 3.25% milk fat, low-fat milk must have 0.5-2.0% milk fat, and SKIM milk must have less than 0.5% milk fat. Starting in 1998, the FDA required that milk with 2% milk fat must be labeled as "reduced-fat" because it did not meet the new definition of low-fat products as having less than 3 grams of fat per serving. Milk with 1% milk fat could still be labeled as "low-fat" because it did meet the definition. Vitamin D concentrate may be added to milk in the amount of 400 international units (IU) per quart. Most low fat and skim milk also has 2,000 IU of Vitamin A added.

yes, all milk is Vitamin D milk. "Whole" only means it has all of it's fat content. Whereas 2% milk only contains 2% fat content, same as the fat free which is also known as skim, which contains a very small amount of fat. All milk contains calcium and vitamin D.

Not true. Vitamin D must be added to milk. Some milk does not have it added. You must read the label.

Most say yes, cow milk is straight from the cow no processing, some say use whole milk the same way, milk sold is based on a 3.5 butterfat test, so some say 2% is not whole milk

How come they call milk low fat 2 percent skim milk and home milk when their from the same cow?

Um, Okay... Milk doesn't come straight from the cow to your milk carton. It gets processed, bleached, pasteurized and all that other good, unnatural stuff. Whole milk has the fat left in it - that's why it's called "whole." But the fat can also be removed to make varying levels of fat content, thus - 2%, 1%, and skim. Whole milk has more like 4-6% fat content.

Can you use whole milk instead of milk replacer when feeding calves?

Straight, unpasteurized milk from a cow, or powdered milk that is derived from unpasteurized milk (see your local large animal vet for the best milk replacer, as brands are sometimes different between countries/states/provinces, but basically are the same). NO SOY MILK REPLACER OR ANY MILK REPLACE THAT COMES FROM PLANT-BASED "MILK." Soy replacer is bad for calves because it doesn't contain the same amount of fats, proteins and calcium, among other nutrients, that is in cow's milk. You will kill your calf faster if you feed plant-based "milk" replacer than if you feed the real milk-based replacer.
