Dairy Processing reports on CoBank's findings that US butterfat and protein are growing at a record pace from genetic improvements. Butterfat averaged 4.23% and protein 3.29% in 2024, with component output outpacing overall milk production growth since 2011.
Faster component growth than milk volume means processors get more solids per pound of milk, supporting processing demand without a major direct shift in raw milk prices.
