Effects of diet and genotype at CSN1S1 locus on the oxidative stress in lactating goats

2011

Twenty-eight Girgentana goats were selected on the basis of their CSN1S1 genotype as follows: 14 goats homozygous for strong (AA) alleles and 14 goats heterozygous (AF). The goats were used in a 2 x 4 factorial arrangement of treatments, with the two genotypes (G) and four diets (D). The diets were: a pelleted alfalfa hay (100H), a complete feed including alfalfa hay at 65% (65H), fresh sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) forage (100S) and fresh sulla plus barley (65S). Each trial consisted of 15d for adaptation and 8d for sample collection, during which the goats received the scheduled diet ad libitum. Blood samples were collected at the end of pre-experimental and experimental period. Plasma …

Influenza del genotipo per l'alfa s1 caseina sulla qualità del latte di capre Maltesi

2010

INTRODUZIONE I numerosi studi sui polimorfismi lattoproteici della capra hanno evidenziato per il gene che codifica per l’alfa (s1)-caseina (CSN1S1) 17 alleli: A, B1, B2, B3, B4, C, D, E, F, G, O1, O2, H, I, L, M, N. Tali alleli sono stati associati a differenti tassi di sintesi di caseina e classificati in quattro gruppi quantitativi: alleli forti (A, B1, B2, B3, B4, C, H, L, M) intermedi (E ed I) e deboli (D, F e G) che sintetizzano rispettivamente un alto (circa 3,5 g/l), medio (circa 1,1 g/l), e basso (0,45 g/l) quantitativo di alfa (s1)-caseina, più alleli nulli (01, 02 e N) che non sintetizzano alfa (s1)-caseina (1, 2). Le varianti genetiche per l’alfa (s1)-caseina influenzano in misu…
