The genome of sheep and goats has been deciphered since 2008. Each quantitative trait, such as milk production, growth rate, body weight etc. is determined by several genes, distributed throughout the genome, but especially in some of the chromosomes that the species possesses. Through the use of genetic markers in breeding programs, it is possible to detect genes that determine quantitative or qualitative characteristics, which is why most of the proteins synthesized in milk or other tissues have become the subject of research that attempts to improve the efficiency of meat and milk production through selection assisted at the molecular level. Casein is a protein specific to milk. In the last decades, several studies have been carried out on the αs1-casein locus to individualize allelic variants and their relationship with goat milk composition and technological properties. The research of the present study aimed to evaluate in farm conditions the effect of polymorphism of the αS1 casein gene (CSN1S1) on the percentage of coagulable casein in milk. Thus, the efficiency of raw milk transformation into cheese is higher in the case of milk collected from females carrying the CSN1S1 AA genotype (19,206%), compared to milk collected from goats carrying the CSN1S1 FF genotype (16,197%).References
