Resumo
As variantes gênicas da beta-lactoglobulina (β-LG) e da kappa-caseína (κ-CN) bovinas são associadas à produção, qualidade e características de processamento do leite. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar as frequências dos genótipos AA, AB e BB, por meio da técnica de PCR-RFLP, da β-LG e da κ-CN bovinas, e suas associações com a produção de leite (kg leite/dia) em bovinos das raças Girolanda, Holandesa e Jersey. Para a κ-CN, a frequência do genótipo AA foi maior nos animais das raças Holandesa (37%) e Girolanda (63%). Na raça Jersey, houve predomínio do genótipo BB (60%). Para a β-LG, o genótipo AB foi o mais encontrado nas raças Girolanda (54%) e Holandesa (58%), enquanto nos animais da raça Jersey houve predomínio do genótipo BB (45%). Houve associação do alelo B da κ-CN com maior produtividade leiteira nas raças Girolanda e Holandesa, e do alelo A da β-LG com maior produtividade de leite na raça Jersey. As variantes genéticas da κ-CN podem ser usadas como marcadores na seleção para a produtividade leiteira nas raças Girolanda e Holandesa. Para a raça Jersey, as variantes da β-LG seriam mais adequadas para essa seleção.
Bovine beta-lactoglobulin (β-LG) and kappa-casein (κ-CN) genic variants are associated with productivity, quality and processing features of milk. The objective of this study was to analyze through the PCR-RFLP technique, the frequency of AA, AB and BB genotypes of bovine β-LG and κ-CN, and their association to milk production (kg milk/day) in Girolanda, Holstein and Jersey cattle. For κ-CN, the frequency of the AA genotype was higher in Holstein (37%) and Girolanda (63%), while there was a predominance of the BB genotype in Jersey (60%). For β-LG, the BB genotype was the most found in Girolanda (54%) and Holstein (58%), while there was a predominance of the BB genotype (45%) in Jersey. There was a positive association between B allele of κ-CN and milk production in the Girolanda and Holstein cattle and between A allele of β-LG and milk production in the Jersey cattle. Genetic variants of κ-CN could be used as markers for the selection for productivity in Girolanda and Holstein cattle. The genetic variants of β-LG would be more appropriate for this selection in the Jersey breed.
