Doodh mein SNF kya hota hai? Full Form, Formula, Lactometer Test & Increase Tips (2026)

Doodh mein SNF kya hota hai? (SNF Full Form & Meaning)

SNF ka full form hai "Solids-Not-Fat" (Fat ke bina bache hue solid tatva).

Doodh mein 2 main parts hote hain: Paani (~85%–88%) aur Total Solids (~12%–15%).

  • FAT: Doodh mein natural butterfat / chiknai.
  • SNF (Solids-Not-Fat): Fat nikaalne ke baad bache hue saare nutritious elements jaise Protein (Casein), Lactose (natural sugar), Calcium aur Minerals.

``

Total Solids (TS) = FAT % + SNF %

FSSAI Standards for FAT & SNF in India

Milk TypeMinimum FAT %Minimum SNF %
Cow Milk (Gai ka Doodh)3.5%8.5%
Buffalo Milk (Bhains ka Doodh)6.0%9.0%
Toned Milk3.0%8.5%

Lactometer se SNF Kaise Calculate Karein? (Richmond Formula)

Dairy aur collection center par Lactometer Reading (CLR) aur FAT test karke standard Richmond Formula se SNF nikala jaata hai:

`

SNF % = (CLR / 4) + (0.21 * FAT %) + 0.36

``

Example Calculation:

  • Measured CLR: 28 (at 27°C)
  • Measured FAT: 4.0%
  • SNF = (28 / 4) + (0.21 * 4.0) + 0.36 = 7.0 + 0.84 + 0.36 = 8.20%

Doodh mein SNF Badhane ke 5 Asardaar Tareeqe

  • Hara aur Sookha Chara 60:40 Ratio mein dein: Sirf bhusa khilane se protein synthesis girta hai. Daily 15-20 kg green fodder dein.
  • Bypass Protein aur Khali (Sarson / Binola Khali): High quality protein feed se doodh ka casein aur SNF badhta hai.
  • Daily Chelated Mineral Mixture & Salt: Har pashu ko roz 50-80 gram mineral mixture dein.
  • Clean Drinking Water: Din mein kam se kam 3-4 baar taaza paani pilayein.

Aksar Pooche Jaane Wale Sawaal

What is the full form of SNF in milk?

SNF stands for Solids-Not-Fat. It represents all the nutritional solids in milk excluding butterfat — primarily proteins (casein), milk sugar (lactose), and vital minerals (calcium, phosphorus).

What is the Richmond Formula for calculating SNF?

The Richmond Formula is: SNF% = (CLR / 4) + (0.21 * FAT%) + 0.36. CLR is the Corrected Lactometer Reading calibrated at 27°C.

What is the FSSAI legal minimum SNF requirement for cow and buffalo milk?

Under FSSAI guidelines, cow milk must contain a minimum of 8.5% SNF (and 3.5% FAT), while buffalo milk must contain a minimum of 9.0% SNF (and 6.0% FAT).

How does DudhHisaab calculate milk rate from FAT and SNF?

DudhHisaab automatically calculates SNF from CLR readings or takes direct digital milk analyzer inputs and prices each litre based on your two-axis (FAT + SNF) or standard fat slab charts.
