Milk Protein Polymorphisms in the Kerry Breed of Cattle

R. F. Murphy and W. K. Downey

Department of Dairy Chemistry, National Dairy Research Centre, The Agricultural Institute, Moorepark, Fermoy, County Cork, Ireland

ABSTRACT

Polymorphisms of ß-lactoglobulin, ß-casein, {alpha}s1-casein, and {kappa}-casein were investigated in milk from the Kerry breed using starch-gel electrophoresis. Incidences of protein phenotypes and their controlling genes were compared with those from other European breeds. Milk from the Kerry breed contained only Variant A of ß-casein and only Variant A of hemoglobin, thus resembling Northern European breeds, especially the Ayrshire and Shorthorn breeds.
