Energy Corrected Milk (ECM) Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Energy Corrected Milk (ECM). 

ECM = .327*M + 12.95*F + 7.65 * P

Formula source:  DHI Glossary: Dairy Production Terms & Definitions (Dairy Records Management Systems, May 2010)

Variables:

  • ECM is the Energy Corrected Milk (ECM) (lbs)
  • M is the milk weight (lbs) 
  • F is the fat weight (lbs) 
  • P is the protein weight (lbs) 

How to Calculate Energy Corrected Milk (ECM)?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Energy Corrected Milk (ECM).

  1. First, determine the milk weight (lbs).
  2. Next, determine the fat weight (lbs). 
  3. Next, determine the protein weight (lbs). 
  4. Next, gather the formula from above = ECM = .327*M + 12.95*F + 7.65 * P.
  5. Finally, calculate the Energy Corrected Milk (ECM).
  6. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above. 

Example Problem:

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

milk weight (lbs) = 50

fat weight (lbs) = 20

protein weight (lbs) = 10

ECM = .327*M + 12.95*F + 7.65 * P =  ?
