Significance of TE Domain and Genetic Variations in FASN Gene in Dairy Animals
Abstract: The interest in the bovine fatty acid synthase (FASN) gene has increased during the last few years. FASN is a multifunctional enzyme that catalyzes de novo biosynthesis of long-chain saturated fatty acid, and alteration of this enzyme may affect economic traits including fatty acid composition. FASN is involved in fat metabolism and is an important candidate gene affecting fat composition of milk because of its central role in de-novo lipogenesis …

Heterosis–Genetic Basis and Utilization for Improvement of Dairy Cattle: A Review
Abstract: The phenomenon in which progeny of crosses between inbred lines or purebred populations are better than the expected average of the two populations or lines for a particular trait is known as heterosis. Utilization of heterosis is the main goal of crossbreeding. The amount of heterosis maintained in a herd depends on the type of crossbreeding system selected for breeding. Heterosis includes greater viability, faster growth rate and greater milk …

Emerging Pathogens in Dairy Industry
Abstract: The epidemiology of food borne disease is changing due to change in food habits of the consumers. New pathogens have emerged, and some have spread worldwide which includes Salmonella, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Campylobacter, and Yersinia enterocolitica. These pathogens have reservoirs in healthy food animals, from which they spread to an increasing variety of milk and milk products. If raw milk is consumed as such or if there is problem in …
