Summary

An analysis of variance was applied to the ‘within herd’ variance of milk total solids in order to find the contribution due to sampling, testing and biological variances on a balanced 8 × 8 two factor (herds and days) experiment with replicate sampling and testing. Testing samples from every consignment from 10 herds over a 12-month period showed that the mean monthy ‘within herd’ variance was 0·039 and the yearly ‘within herd’ variance was 0·085. A formula is given showing how the variance of the mean for compositional quality testing can be obtained and on which the design of testing schemes can be based.
