Introduction:
This project is part of the Milk Genomics Initiative. The objective is to determine the influence of genetic variants, degree of phosphorylation and environmental conditions on casein micelle characteristics. Gaining more insight in these characteristics will open up possibilities to improve milk composition by breeding strategies and to design high quality dairy products.
