Testing and selection of female bovine animals on the A2 beta casein genotype for the production of functional milk products with higher added value
Testiranje in selekcija govedi ženskega spola na genotip A2 beta kazeina za pripravo funkcionalnih mlečnih proizvodov višje dodane vrednosti
Objectives
Cow's milk contains several allelic variants for beta casein. Milk containing beta casein A2 is healthier, less allergic and therefore more recommended for consumption. A farmer who wants to separate (A2) milk, must know cows with the right genotype. It is technically necessary to adjust the separation of A2-milk during milking and to further process it separately. Because of the (A2) milk properties, these products have a higher added value. An important goal of the project is to increase the awareness and recognition of these products for consumers and the market in Slovenia.
Objectives
Kravje mleko vsebuje več alelnih različic za beta kazein. Mleko, ki vsebuje beta kazein A2, je glede na raziskave bolj zdravo, manj alergeno in zato bolj priporočljivo za uživanje. Kmet, ki želi ločevati A2-mleko, mora najprej poznati molznice s pravim genotipom. Tehnično je v hlevu potrebno prilagoditi ločen odvzem A2-mleka med molžo in ga tudi ločeno predelati. Zaradi svojih lastnosti imajo ti izdelki višjo dodano vrednost. Pomemben cilj projekta je povečanje zavedanja in prepoznavnosti teh izdelkov za potrošnike in trg v Sloveniji.
Activities
The aim of the project is to train selected farms for the separate collection of milk from dairy cows with the A2A2 genotype for beta casein and the successful entry of products from this milk into the market. The research organization (lead partner) will perform genetic testing of the existing herd of female bovine animals and provide this information to the farms. By solving technical problems of separate collection of milk, farmers will offer a new low-allergenic and healthier A2-beta casein based milk and milk products on the market. An important objective of the project is to increase the awareness and visibility of these products for consumers.
Activities
Cilj projekta je usposobiti izbrana kmetijska gospodarstva (KMG) za ločeno zbiranje mleka iz krav molznic z genotipom A2A2 za beta kazein in uspešen vstop izdelkov iz tega mleka na trg. Raziskovalna organizacija (vodilni partner) bo izvedla genetsko testiranje obstoječe črede govedi ženskega spola in to informacijo posredovala KMGjem. Preko rešitve tehničnih problemov ločenega zbiranja mleka bodo KMGji na trgu ponudili novo nizko-alergeno in bolj zdravo mleko A2 in mlečne izdelke iz njega.
