ing.”
From Where We Stand...
There is a new trend in milk pro
- duction that is spreading across the
Netherlands and it may soon be starting
in the U.S. The trend is high protein
milk. ■
In fact it may have already started.
As of October first, the Red Rose Dairy
Herd Improvement Association insti
tuted a program of all-solids testing of
milk, and, if sufficient interest develops,
protein testing may be added later.
Traditionally, milk has been sold—
as we all know—on the basis of butter
fat content and volume. Ten gallons of
milk that contained four per cent but
terfat was worth so much. If it contain
ed only three per cent butterfat it sold
for substantially less.
The reason for the price differen
tial was relatively simple. People want
ed butter, and milk with a lot of cream,
and they were willing to pay for it.
But slowly our buying habits
changed. High pressure advertising in
duced more-people to buy margarine in
stead of the “high priced spread”, and
they were less willing to pay a premium
for milk with a high butterfat content.
In fact, there were fears—generated and
encouraged by misguided publicity and
advertising—that too much fat might
not be good for health.
At the same time work habits were
changing and people burned up less
energy in labor. Nutritionists began
saying that people should not eat less,
but that they should eat more protein,
and milk is one of the best sources of
protein.
(Gradually the emphasis began to
shift from.high butterfat milk to high
protein milk.
According to Professor George F.
Haenlein of the University of Delaware,
scientists in the Netherlands have tested
the milk from more than 23,000 cows to
see if there are some inherited differ
ences in protein content and if animals
can be bred for their ability to produce
high protein milk.
In these tests protein varied from
2.2 per cent to 4.8 per cent, and the
scientists found that certain cows and
cow families have predictable amounts
of protein in their milk.
The scientists also discovered that
protein and fat contents are related
only in a general way. A cow that gives
high protein milk doesn’t necessarily
give milk high in butterfat content.
Here in the United States, research
along the same lines has been going on
at experiment stations for several years.
Haenlein and his associates have been
working on milk composition for the

TO MAKE DAIRY STALLS LARGE
ENOUGH . . . Many dairy barns have been,
and continue to be, remodeled an the past
few years The natural intent is to crowd a
maximum number of cows into the space
and thus save in building costs. In many
cases this is a mistake. Modern dairy cows
are larger than a decade ago and require
larger stalls for top production. The proper
size of the stall depends upon the breed
and upon individuals within the herd; how
ever, many large Holstein cows will require
a stall five feet wide and six feet long.
Helpful bulletins are available.
