  • 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

    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Assignee: GESVAL S.A.
    Inventors: Michel Georges, Wouter Coppieters, Latifa Karim

  • Detecting the brachyspina mutation
    Patent number: 10174374
    Abstract: This invention relates to methods for the detection of a bovine that is affected by or carrier of brachyspina. It is based on the identification of a 3.3 Kb deletion in the bovine FANCI gene that is shown to cause the brachyspina syndrome. The present invention provides methods and uses for determining whether a bovine is affected by or carrier of brachyspina by analyzing its genomic DNA or its RNA. The methods can be used to perform marker assisted selection or genomic selection for increased fertility in said bovine.

  • 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.
