Summer and winter milk compared

How is the fatty acid composition of milk fat regulated in the bovine genome? If the regions in the bovine genome can be identified, the information can be used to influence the composition of milk fat through breeding measures. Many correlations between the cow’s genetic predisposition and the fatty acid composition of its winter milk have been confirmed for summer milk. By Jan Blom The biosynthesis of milk fat is a complex process in which various molecular routes can be dis
