16. — UNITED KINGDOM.
An estimate of milk production, based on the size of the milk herd, is made annually in
England and Wales. Information on the average yield per cow was secured in the Census
years 1925 and 1930-31 and provides the coefficients for computing the milk output in other
years. Estimates for Scotland and Northern Ireland can be calculated in the same way. The
utilization of the milk supply and the quantity consumed fresh cannot be ascertained precisely
as annual estimates of the farm production of butter and cheese and of the total quantities
of these products manufactured within the country are not available. Total home production
of butter and cheese in 1934 is roughly estimated to have been 47,000 tons and 50,000 tons
respectively. The consumption of liquid milk is est mated to have been about 20.5 gallons
per head in 1924-25 and rather over 21 gallons in 1930. Consumption of butter, on the
assumption that the increase in factory butter making has been counterbalanced by a corres¬
ponding decline in farm production, has increased in the last five years from 18.7 lb. to 25.2 lb.
per head while that of cheese averages about 9 lb.
