Abstract excerpt
To devise better selection strategies in dairy cattle breeding programs, a deeper knowledge of the role of the major genes encoding for milk protein fractions is required. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the CSN2, CSN3, and BLG genotypes on individual protein fractions (αS1-CN, αS2-CN, β-CN, κ-CN, β-LG, α-LA) expressed qualitatively as percentages of total nitrogen content (% N),...
