Estimating Fatty Acid Content in Cow Milk using Mid-Infrared Spectrometry
Hélène Soyeurt,Pierre Dardenne,Frédéric Dehareng,Georges Lognay,Didier Veselko,Michel Marlier,Carlo Bertozzi,Patrick Mayeres,Nicolas Gengler +8 more
TL;DR: The calibration of MIR spectrometry for estimating fatty acid concentrations in milk and milk fat showed that the calibration equations predicting saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids in milk could be used and offered the possibility of assessing and improving the quality of milk produced.

Variation in Fatty Acid Contents of Milk and Milk Fat Within and Across Breeds
Hélène Soyeurt,Pierre Dardenne,Alain Gillon,Coraline Croquet,Sylvie Vanderick,Patrick Mayeres,Carlo Bertozzi,Nicolas Gengler +7 more
TL;DR: The repeatability estimate obtained in the present study may suggest the existence of moderate additive genetic variance for the fatty acid profile within each breed, and genetic improvement of the nutritional quality of milk fat based on fatty acid profiles might be possible.

Estimation of heritability and genetic correlations for the major fatty acids in bovine milk.
TL;DR: Evaluating the feasibility of genetic selection to improve the nutritional quality of bovine milk fat demonstrated that an increase in fat content is not directly correlated with undesirable changes in FA profile in milk for human health.

Inbreeding Depression for Global and Partial Economic Indexes, Production, Type, and Functional Traits
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of inbreeding on the global economic index and its components were studied by using data from the genetic evaluations of February 2004 for production, somatic cell score (SCS), computed from sigmoid cell counts and type.

Variation of Δ9-Desaturase Activity in Dairy Cattle
TL;DR: Negative genetic correlations observed between fat or protein contents and the 3 indices suggested that an increased activity of Delta(9)-desaturase could inhibit the synthesis of fat and protein in bovine milk.
