8. Summary of results. 
a. YIELD oF MILK. 
The Holsteins gave the largest amount of milk. Below we 
state the amount of milk given by each breed for 100 pounds of 
milk given by the Holsteins:

6. YIELD oF Fat In Mux. 
The average amount of fat given in the milk per month was 
greatest in the case of the Holsteins. Below we state the pounds 
of milk-fat given by each breed for 100 pounds of fat in the milk 
of the Holsteins :

c. YIELD oF Fat In Butter. 
From what was stated in connection with the creaming and 
churning efficiency of the milk-fat in the case of the different 
breeds, it is not surprising that the Guernseys, while standing © 
third in the amount of fat yield, should stand first in regard to 
the amount of fat recovered in the butter. If the milk of the 
Holsteins did not lose so much fat in creaming, the Holsteins 
would easily make the largest amount of butter. The question 
arises as to the best method of getting the fat of the Holsteins 
from the milk to the butter without such serious loss. This can 
be accomplished satisfactorily by using a centrifugal machine for 
creaming the milk. As we propose to use a centrifugal separator 
in connection with the second period of lactation, the results will 
be brought out in our future work. |
