The experiments conducted by the New Jersey Experiment 

 Station with leading dairy breeds show the average yield of dif- 

 ferent breeds varies slightly from the results obtained in New 



York. 



Holstein Friesian 3.51 



Shorthorn 3.65 



Ayrshire 3.68 



Jersey 4.78 



Guernsey 5 . 02 



A close study of the tests of the experiment stations shows 



that: 



1. There can be a distinct classification of breeds based upon relative 

 yield and quality of milk. 



2 . Milk from large producers shows average quality. 



3. Milk from small producers shows higher than an average quality. 



4. Age and health of animals affects the composition of milk. 



5. Milk of young animals is richer than that of old. 



6. The greater part of variations in the composition of milk is due 

 to breed and therefore indicates the kind of animals best adapted 

 for the production of a specific dairy product.
