Lactometer

What is Lactometer ?

Lactometer, a cylindrical vessel made by blowing a glass tube. One side of glass tube looks like a bulb with filled by mercury and another site is thin tube with scaled. For milk testing lactometer dipped in milk which we are testing. In lactometer the point up to which it sinks in the pure milk is marked after that put in water and marked at the point up to which it sinks in water. It sinks less in milk then water because as we know milk is denser then water. At lactometer there are to portions i.e. ‘M ‘and ‘W’ which is divided in three parts and marked as 3, 2 and 1. That indicates the level of the purity in Milk.

Here below some steps mentioned for milk testing –

Step 1- Whenever you want to test the milk purity Find Article, you just put the instrument or lactometer in milk.
Step 2- If it sinks up to the mark ‘M’ which mentioned at lactometer that means milk is pure or if not that means milk is impure.
Step 3- If the milk is mixed in water then it would sink higher then marked ‘M’.
Step 4- If it stands at the mark 3 that means milk is 75% pure and respectively 2 for 50% purity and 1 means 25% purity.
Lactometer is basically more suitable or useful in sea warfare where now the days most of shops and submarines also use it for milk purity test. Here below advantages of lactometer mentioned by which you have an idea about how a lactometer gives you advantage-

Advantages of Lactometer

GRAFTING

GRAFTING - Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. The upper part of the combined plant is called the scion while the lower part is called the root stock. The success of this joining requires that the vascular tissue grow together and such joining is called inosculation. The technique is most commonly used in asexual propagation of commercially grown plants for the horticultural and agricultural trades . TYPES OF  GRAFTING - 1) Saddle graft                                               2) Bridge graft                                               3) Inarch graft                          ...

Body temperature of cow

The normal body temperature The body can only work properly at a certain temperature. The animal body maintains itself at a constant temperature, within a small range, in order for the systems to work properly. This normal body temperature is different in different types of animals. There are a number of ways by which animals control the temperature of the body: Hair, wool, walking, running, shivering and the burning of energy in feed keep the body warm. Sweating, panting, wallowing in mud, and lying in the shade cool the body. Measuring body temperature We use a thermometer to measure the temperature of the body. The unit of measurement is degrees centigrade (°C). The normal temperature of your body is 37°C. We measure the body temperature of animals by placing a thermometer in the anus. Thermometer Look at your thermometer. Notice the silver line of the mercury inside it and the scale with numbers marked along it. Before you use it you must make sure that the mercury leve...
