Remaining milk - calculation
Posted on April 24th, 2006 by Leon the Milkman.

Hi, Dairy Scientists
You start off with 3.8% butterfat and you skim off to 2% - what is the volume of milk remaining?
Let us say you started off with 1000 liters of milk and your resulting cream has a butterfat of 40%
3.8% - 2% = 1.8% difference per part
1.8% x 1000 liters = 1800 parts of fat to be removed
1800 ÷ 40% = 45 liters of cream
1000 liters - 45 liters = 955 liters of milk remaining.
Don’t ask me why or how - this is the way to do it - agreed?
Semi-convinced,
Leon the Milkman
