Bovine milk is a nutritionally rich, chemically complex biofluid consisting of hundreds of
different components. While the chemical composition of cow's milk has been studied for …

Over the last 100 years, significant advances have been made in the characterisation of milk
composition for dairy cattle improvement programs. Technological progress has enabled a …

Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed at the sequence
level to identify candidate mutations that affect the expression of six major milk proteins in …

Simple Summary Understanding the genetic architecture underlying milk production traits in
cattle is beneficial so that genetic variants can be targeted toward the genetic improvement …

Mastitis is an inflammatory disease of the mammary gland, which has a significant economic
impact and is an animal welfare concern. This work examined the association between …

The objective of this study was to explore single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), gene
expression and economic evaluation of parameters associated with mastitis susceptibility in …

Type traits and mammary health traits are important to dairy ruminant breeding because they
influence animal health, milking ability, and longevity, as well as the economic sustainability …

Individual wavenumbers of the infrared (IR) spectra of bovine milk have been shown to be
moderately to highly heritable. The objective of this study was to identify genomic regions …

Dairy cattle science has evolved greatly over the past century, contributing significantly to
the improvement in milk production achieved today. However, a new approach is needed to …
