Abstract

VERESS, Gy. et al. Polymorphism of the as1-casein, K-casein and β-lactoglobulin genes in the Hungarian Milk Goat. S. Afr. j. anim. sci. [online]. 2004, vol.34, n.5, pp.20-23. ISSN 2221-4062.

The type and frequency of goat milk protein alleles have not yet been studied in Hungary. Here we report the initial, partial characterization of allelic polymorphisms of as1-, K-casein and P-lactoglobulin genes in a herd of Hungarian Milk Goat based on published RFLP-PCR and AS-PCR methods. Experiments are in progress to confirm and extend the caprine milk protein genotype data and to evaluate its influence on milk quality.

Keywords : Polymorphism; as1-casein; K-casein and B-lactoglobulin genes.
