  • Methods involving nucleic acid analysis of milk
    Patent number: 11866776
    Abstract: The present application relates to methods for determining the proportion or quantity of DNA contributed by individual animals to a volume of milk collected from a plurality of individual animals, wherein the method employs allele sampling for DNA sequence polymorphisms in DNA extracted from a sample of the volume of milk by shallow whole genome sequencing (SWGS). The present methods are useful for example in detecting mastitis or subclinical mastitis in animals contributing milk to the volume of milk.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Assignee: GESVAL S.A.
    Inventors: Michel Georges, Wouter Coppieters, Latifa Karim

  • Marker assisted selection of bovine for improved milk composition
    Patent number: 7407750
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of genotyping bovine for improved milk production traits by determining the GHR genotypic state of said bovine, wherein the GHR gene and polymorphisms within said gene have been found to be associated with such improved milk production traits.
