Fat Corrected Milk (FCM) Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Fat Corrected Milk (FCM) is:

\[ FCM = M \times \left(0.4 + 15 \times \left(\frac{F}{100}\right)\right) \]

Where:

\( FCM \) is the Fat Corrected Milk (kilograms).
\( M \) is the Milk Yield (kilograms).
\( F \) is the Fat Percentage (%).

What is Fat Corrected Milk?

Fat corrected milk (FCM) is a standardized measure of milk production that accounts for variations in milk fat content. It adjusts the milk yield to a common fat percentage, providing a more accurate comparison of milk yield across different cows or herds.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Milk Yield (M): 25 kilograms
Fat Percentage (F): 3.5%

Using the formula to calculate the Fat Corrected Milk:

\[ FCM = 25 \times \left(0.4 + 15 \times \left(\frac{3.5}{100}\right)\right) = 25 \times 0.925 = 23.125 \text{ kilograms} \]

This means that the fat corrected milk for this example is 23.13 kilograms.
