Abstract excerpt
The aim of this work was to study the effects of isoelectrofocusing (IEF) milk protein variants on milk composition in the Italian Orobica goat breed, which is characterized by a rather high frequency of the kappa-casein (CSN3) B(IEF) allele. Significant associations were found between the IEF phenotype and protein and casein percentages. A favorable effect of the CSN3 B(IEF) variant was found for both protein...
