Butter Fat Loss From Milk And Separators
A reader asks, using Babcock test figures, how much butter fat is lost in 1060 pounds of full milk at 4 percent and skim milk at 2 1 10 of 1 percent. The answer shows 2 26 pounds fat loss per 1000 pounds skim milk at 2 1 10 of 1 percent and converts to butter equivalent. For separator efficiency, the guidance is that the separator should remove all fat. inadequate removal implies issues with milk temperature, speed, feed rate, or poor separator quality.
