It is known that DGAT1 plays a crucial role in milk production, because DGAT1-knockout mice are unable to produce milk and almost no lipid droplets accumulate in the secretion region of the mammary gland in these mice (Smith et al., 2000). Cases et al. (1998) identified the K232A polymorphism in the bovine DGAT1 gene.
How nutrients affect the milk production?
The beneficial bacteria stabilize the rumen environment (increase the pH) and improve the digestibility of the ration and fiber fractions. This mode of action improves the energy/nutrient supply through a better feed intake, therefore increasing the milk yield, milk fat, and milk protein content.
What is the DGAT1 gene?
DGAT1 (Diacylglycerol O-Acyltransferase 1) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with DGAT1 include Diarrhea 7, Protein-Losing Enteropathy Type and Congenital Diarrhea 7 With Exudative Enteropathy. Among its related pathways are Drug metabolism - cytochrome P450 and Fat digestion and absorption.
