The quality and value of the carcass in domestic meat animals are reflected in its protein and
fat content. Preadipocytes and adipocytes are important in establishing the overall fatness of …

From an extensive review of public domain information on dairy cattle quantitative trait loci
(QTL), we have prepared a draft online QTL map for dairy production traits. Most …

Milk protein comprises caseins (CNs) and whey proteins, each of which has different genetic
variants. Several studies have reported the frequencies of these genetic variants and the …

Selective DNA pooling was employed in a daughter design to screen all bovine autosomes
for quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting estimated breeding value for milk protein percentage …

Genotypic effects of β-casein (CN), κ-CN, and β-lactoglobulin (LG) on milk, fat, and protein
production and fat and protein percentages were estimated for 18,686 Finnish Ayrshire cows …

Lactation is a dynamic process, which evolved to meet dietary demands of growing
offspring. At the same time, the mother's metabolism changes to meet the high requirements …

Goat plays a crucial role in human livelihoods, being a major source of meat, milk, fiber, and
hides, particularly under adverse climatic conditions. The goat genomics related to the …

A whole genome scan of Finnish Ayrshire was conducted to map quantitative trait loci (QTL)
affecting milk production. The analysis included 12 half-sib families containing a total of 494 …

Individual mid‐lactation milk samples were collected from 116 cows of the Swedish Red and
Swedish Holstein breeds with known genotypes of β‐casein, κ‐casein and β‐lactoglobulin …

The most common types of beta-casein in cow's milk are A1 and A2, which differ in one
amino acid. During the gastrointestinal proteolysis of A1 beta-casein in humans this …
