Effects of stage of lactation, milk protein genotype and body condition at calving on protein composition and renneting properties of bovine milk.

Abstract excerpt

The lactational variation in milk protein composition and renneting properties and their relationship to the cow's body condition at calving were investigated in 39 Danish Holstein first lactation cows fed on a well balanced standard diet. All milk characteristics measured were significantly affected by stage of lactation (P < 0.01). Casein as a proportion of total milk nitrogen reached a maximum in mid...
