    Yes. The higher your fat and protein % the more solids you have per litre..
    Can I ask how you do not know this?

    You need to sign up for service and there's a annual charge don't know how much but well worth it for SCC alone

    Cows in milk .its a management tool imo
    Something to watch every collection
    . All numbers included is better for annual review etc

    Sorry I forgot the density, it doesn't make a huge difference however.

    You just got to pay for it. I taught it was a default that you get the texts and are charged for them and you had to opt out to not get them but maybe i was wrong
