The potential for genetic change in milk fat composition.

Journal of dairy science - 1 Sept 1991

Gibson J P

Abstract excerpt

Effecting genetic improvement requires genetic variation, a mechanism of selection, and an economic incentive for the improvement. Limited data suggest that there is within-breed genetic variation in milk fat composition, but accurate estimates are lacking. There is some evidence for modest differences among breeds. Substantial differences exist among species, indicating that substantial genetic change in fat...
