Authenticity of dairy products has become an urgent issue for producers, researchers,
governments, consumers and so on due to the increase of falsification procedures inducing …

The specific fatty acid (FA) profile of colostrum may indicate a biological requirement for
neonatal calves. The objective of this study was to characterize the FA profile and yields in …

In selecting cows for higher milk yields and milk quality, it is important to understand how
these traits are affected by the bovine genome. The major milk proteins exhibit genetic …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have increased the ability to detect sequence
variations for complex trait improvement. A high throughput genome wide genotyping-by …

Somatic cell count (SCC) is associated with changes in milk composition, including changes
in proteins, lipids, and milk metabolites. Somatic cell count is normally used as an indicator …

Background The milk fat profile of the Danish Holstein (DH) and Danish Jersey (DJ) show
clear differences. Identification of the genomic regions, genes and biological pathways …

Substantial variation in milk coagulation properties has been observed among dairy cows.
Consequently, raw milk from individual cows and breeds exhibits distinct coagulation …

The aim of this study was to assess the performance of Bayesian models commonly used for
genomic selection to predict “difficult-to-predict” dairy traits, such as milk fatty acid (FA) …

Predicting individual fatty acids (FA) in bovine milk from Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR)
measurements is desirable. However, such predictions may rely on covariance structures …

Relationships between dairy farm practices, the composition and properties of raw milk, and
the quality of the resulting cheese are complex. In this review, we assess the effect of farm …
