Milk Industry Foundation

Calculated from metric tons produced and converted to pounds milk equivalent with factors 21.2 lb of milk/pound of butter, 10 lb/lb of cheese and 11 lb/lb of NFDM. Percent of production calculated by dividing total pounds of milk product by total pounds of milk produced x 100 (Milk Industry Foundation, 1981). rfProduction figures do not total 100% because other milk products (frozen desserts, condensed, etc.) are not included, and there is an overlap of milk used for both butter and nonfat dry milk, as well as whey butter from cheese.

For example, the Milk Industry Foundation, whose main office is in Washington, D. C., assembles data on production, consumption, and sales of milk, fluid milk products, and cottage cheese for its membership.
