- The study measured the expression levels of four milk-related genes in milk and tissue samples from different cattle breeds, using quantitative PCR.
- Results revealed that these genes were most highly expressed in the mammary gland and milk, particularly in Holstein cows, which showed the greatest increases in mRNA expression.
- The research indicates that White Fulani cattle may have greater potential for milk production compared to Angus and Ndama breeds, highlighting their significance in dairy genetics.
