A method of reducing the serum level in a mammal of any one more cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol relative to high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, apolipoprotein B, and triglycerides by the inges...

This invention relates to a method for determining whether a bovine animal possesses a gene for ß-casein A2 or the gene for ß-casein A1 in its milk by testing the DNA of the bovine animal for the presence of at least one DNA marker (excluding those DNA markers present in the sequence of the genes themselves). In par...

There is disclosed a method of reducing the level of saturated fatty acids relative to the level of unsaturated fatty acids in bovine milk by determining which cows of a herd produce milk containing β-casein having a proline at position 67, by testing genetic material of individual cows of the herd for the prese...
