The Relation of Per Cent Total Solids in Separated Milk and Per Cent Fat in Whole Milk to Atmospheric Temperature

Producers Creamery Company, Springfield, Missouri

ABSTRACT

The results of this study indicate that a definite relationship usually exists between the fat test of the whole milk received at the plant, the total solids of the separated milk, and the air temperature in the Springfield, Missouri, area.

The correlation coefficients between mean daily total solids of separated milk and mean daily temperature ranged from –0.062 to –0.758 and averaged –0.443 for the year 1946, using monthly intervals.

The correlation coefficients between mean daily fat test of the whole milk as received and the mean daily temperature ranged from –0.258 to –0.838 and averaged –0.657 for 1946.

There was an average increase of 0.067 per cent total solids of the separated milk for each 10° P. decrease in atmospheric temperature.

There was an average increase of 0.093 per cent fat in the whole milk for each 10° F. decrease in atmospheric temperature.
