Short communication: Influence of composite casein genotypes on additive genetic variation of milk production traits and coagulation properties in Holstein-Friesian cows

Abstract:
The aim of the study was to quantify the effects of composite β- and κ-casein (CN) genotypes on genetic variation of milk coagulation properties (MCP); milk yield; fat, protein, and CN contents; somatic cell score; pH; and titratable acidity (TA) in 1,042 Italian Holstein- Friesian cows. Milk coagulation properties were defined as rennet coagulation time (RCT) and curd firmness (a30). Variance components were estimated using 2 ani- mal models: model 1 included herd, days in milk, and parity as fixed effects and animal and residual as ran- dom effects, and model 2 was model 1 with the addition of composite β- and κ-CN genotype as a fixed effect. Genetic correlations between RCT and a30 and between these traits and milk production traits were obtained with bivariate analyses, based on the same models. The inclusion of casein genotypes led to a decrease of 47, 68, 18, and 23% in the genetic variance for RCT, a30, pH, and TA, respectively, and less than 6% for other traits. Heritability of RCT and a30 decreased from 0.248 to 0.143 and from 0.123 to 0.043, respectively. A moderate reduction was found for pH and TA, whereas negligible changes were detected for other milk traits. Estimates of genetic correlations were comparable between the 2 models. Results show that composite β- and κ-CN genotypes are important for RCT and a30 but cannot replace the recording of MCP themselves.
