Are you putting together an ad for your best cow displaying records on a true protein basis?  That's great!  If you are looking at her completed lactations and wondering how much of a difference there is between true protein and crude protein, Holstein offers the following simple mechanism to find out. To convert between Crude Protein and True Protein pounds, please:   1 - provide Total Milk lbs,   2 - provide CRUDE or TRUE Protein lbs,   3 - click on either "Convert" button to perform the conversion.   Total Milk lbs   CRUDE Protein     TRUE Protein   lbs %     lbs %     TRUE Protein   CRUDE Protein   lbs %     lbs %

Please Note: The conversion above is valid for crude protein lactations that were completed before test days in May 2000, or for true protein lactations that had a first test day in May 2000 or later. (Click here for more information about the industry change to true protein.)
