Milk Composition¹

Experiences with Solids-not-fat and Protein Testing

Mayflower Farms, Portland, Oregon

ABSTRACT

General

A brief review of past programs of the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) indicates that the subject of this Symposium, Milk Composition, is chronologically on schedule. In 1957, and every three years since, a symposium has been held on various facets of this subject.

We might find that interest has declined on milk composition during the past few years, if frequency of comments in trade publications, discussions at industry conventions, and with individuals are indications. This is a very superficial observation and could be incorrect. If we find that interest has declined, then it would be helpful to know the reasons. Could it be that proponents of change in buying formulae have grown weary from an apparent lack of progress in this area?, Will the magnitude of the change involving many regulations at local, state, and federal levels; price support programs; numerous federal marketing orders; various grades of milk for fluid and manufacturing purposes; and many subsequent areas of utilization of the raw commodity result in overwhelming ramifications of change, and lead to the conclusion that inequities in the present methods are not great, and any advantage gained would probably not be significant?
