Role of CSN2, CSN3, and BLG genes and the polygenic background in the cattle milk protein profile

ABSTRACT: To devise better selection strategies in dairy cattle breeding programs, a deeper knowledge of the role of the major genes encoding for milk protein fractions is required. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of the CSN2, CSN3, and BLG genotypes on individual protein fract...
