Abstract
Aim of this research was to identify Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for long chain milk fatty acids. Therefore 1905 Dutch Holstein Friesian heifers were phenotyped. One of the conclusions was that the identification of QTL for long chain fatty acids, and in particular for C18:1trans fatty acids, strongly supports the hypothesis of a genetic component for these fatty acids
