Extract

Many studies were already focussing on ways to improve the nutritional quality of milk fat. The most popular way to improve nutritional quality is by feed supplementation; however these methods present certain disadvantages. Most important is that this improvement is not sustainable. If the supplementation stops, the nutritional quality disappears. A genetic improvement however is complementary to feeding and has the additional advantage to create additional value for the animals through selection. However studying the genetics of nutritional quality of milk fat requires a lot of data. The objectives of this study were to use medium infrared spectrometry to get this data and, by using these predicted quantities of fatty acids in milk and milk fat, to study the differences in fatty acids profiles of milk within and across breeds.
