Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to screen the genotype profile of bovine kappa-casein gene among Frieswal (HF × Sahiwal) crossbred cattle developed in India. A total number of two hundred Frieswal cows were evaluated for HinfI RFLP based genotyping of kappa-casein gene. We observed that only two genotypes (AA and AB) exist among the studied population with the genotype frequency of 0.58 (n=117) and 0.42 (n=83), respectively. The calculated allele frequency for A and B was 0.79 and 0.21, respectively. Association of genotypes with certain milk production traits revealed that AB had significant (P

Beta-casein (CSN2) polymorphism in Ongole (Indian zebu) and Frieswal (HF × Sahiwal crossbred) cattle

Realizing the significant association of A1 and A2 β-casein (CSN2) polymorphism with health promoting properties and milk performance traits, the present investigation was undertaken to explore A1/A2 polymorphism in Indian zebu breed, Ongole (Bos indicus) and crossbred, Frieswal (HF × Sahiwal) cattle using allele-specific (AS)-PCR. Thirty eight Ongole cow, 124 Frieswal heifers and 48 Frieswal b...

Bovine kappa-casein gene polymorphism and its association with milk production traits

Point mutations in exon IV of the bovine κ-casein (CSN3) gene determine two allelic variants, A and B. These variants were distinguished by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in the indigenous Sahiwal and Tharparkar cattle breeds. DNA samples (252 Sahiwal and 56 Tharparkar) were analyzed for allelic variants of the CSN3 gene. Polymorphism ...

Status of β-casein (CSN2) Polymorphism in Frieswal (HF X Sahiwal Crossbred) Cattle

Cow milk is a rich source of protein and selected micronutrients such as calcium. Recently, a relationship between disease risk and consumption of a specific bovine β-casein fraction either A1 or A2 genetic variants has been identified. Polymorphism at codon 67 of the beta-casein gene: CCT→CAT causes a substitution of amino acid proline (in A2 variant) by histidine (in A1 variant). The presence...

Kappa-casein gene polymorphism in Indian goats

The present work was carried out to analyse the κ-casein variants in five Indian goat breeds by SDS-PAGE, PCRRFLP and SSCP method. A total of 152 unrelated blood samples and 102 milk samples belonging to Barbari, Beetal, Marwari, Surti and Local MP (non-descript) goats were used for analysis. SDS-PAGE exhibited κ-casein allele A in all the breeds. Moreover PCR+RFLP analysis also confirmed the p...
