Abstract excerpt
Milk fat composition shows substantial seasonal variation, most of which is probably caused by differences in the feeding of dairy cows. The present study aimed to know whether milk fat composition in winter is genetically the same trait as milk fat composition in summer. For this purpose, we estimated heritabilities, genetic correlations, effects of acyl-coenzyme A:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) K232A,...
