Quality of milk from the Holmogor cows with different genotypes of kappa-casein

Resumo

Effects of the kappa-casein genotype on technological properties of milk produced by high productive Golstenized Holmogor cows were analyzed. It is found that milk from cows with the kappa-casein genotypes AB and BB possesses better technological characteristics, contains more protein and coagulates within shorter time. The yield is higher and the product received is of better quality.
