While my family has been out of the dairy business for years your question has caught my attention. I can not comment on new drugs intelligently but just wanted to throw out this idea.
It could be you are tasting the effects of BST (bovine somatotropin). This is a growth hormone that has been given to cows. It also increases milk production. This drug is approved for use in the USA but has been banned in Canada and UK.
From the way I hear it many farmers here in the US were passing on the drug even though it increased production because it also made the cows sick (mainly mastitis) requiring increased doses of antibiotics to be given. A lot are now caving in and starting to use the drug to stay competitive. It will be interesting to see comments from some one still in the dairy business.
