Abstract excerpt
Effects of casein haplotypes and beta-lactoglobulin (LG) genotypes on milk protein fractions and on daughter yield deviations for milk performance traits were estimated from a daughter design. Offspring of seven Swiss Brown sires with the haplotypes B-A-B-A and B-A-B-B for alpha s1-, alpha s2-, beta-, and kappa-caseins were selected. The milk of daughter groups with paternal haplotype B-A-B-A was associated with...
