Abstract

SummaryEigty-three authentic samples were taken from the mixed herd milk of dairies located in eight areas of the State of Mississippi during an eight-month period. The range of freezing points observed was wider than expected based on the recognized upper limit of −0.530 C. Eleven percent of the samples would have been termed adulterated based on this accepted standard. The mean freezing point was −0.536 C and the standard deviation −0.006 C. The data showed a moderately acceptable normal curve fit. But the true distribution appeared somewhat skewed, indicating that factors other than normal differences between animals tend to force the freezing point up. Variation between laboratories was small. The mean test deviation was slightly more than 0.001 C.
