Milk Genomics Initiative
Aim: To identify opportunities to use genetic variation
to improve milk quality characteristics
 Milk quality:
 Milk-fat composition
 Milk-protein composition
 Improve:
 Technological efficiency (production of cheese, butter)
 Innovative dairy products (e.g. promoting human health)
Animal Breeding &
Genomics Centre
Milk composition
 Cow milk contains a unique source of bio-active
components and nutrient, among which proteins
 Six major milk proteins:
 Caseins: αS1-casein, αS2-casein, β-casein and к-casein
 Whey proteins: α-lactalbumin and β-lactoglobulin
 Milk protein composition is important for the dairy
industry:
 Caseins are important for the cheese production
Animal Breeding &
Genomics Centre
Heritabilities for milk protein composition
 Ranged from 0.25 for β-casein to 0.80 for
β-lactoglobulin Schopen et al 2009 Journal of Dairy Science
 Genes contribute to the genetic variation,
however, it is not known which genes cause the
genetic variation
Animal Breeding &
Genomics Centre
Aim
To detect DNA regions on the cattle genome which
have an effect on a quantitative trait

Conclusion
 Detected DNA region on chromosome 6 and 11
which affected the milk protein composition
 The DNA region on chromosome 6 affected all four
casein fractions and was partially explained by the
genetic variants in the casein genes
 The DNA region on chrosomsome 11 affected β-
lactoglobulin fraction and was partially explained
by the genetic variant A and B in β-lactoglobulin

  • 22. Animal Breeding & Genomics Centre Conclusion  Detected DNA region on chromosome 6 and 11 which affected the milk protein composition  The DNA region on chromosome 6 affected all four casein fractions and was partially explained by the genetic variants in the casein genes  The DNA region on chrosomsome 11 affected β- lactoglobulin fraction and was partially explained by the genetic variant A and B in β-lactoglobulin

Editor's Notes

  • #3: &amp;lt;number&amp;gt; 16/03/15 Quality characteristics are mainly related to milk-fat and milk-protein composition. Improvements may imply technological efficiency, such as production of cheese or butter, where you can think of yield or colour. Improvements may also imply innovative products, such as products promoting human health. Some examples of products with beneficial effects on human health are given on the next slide.
