Melk nog verder verbeteren door fokkerijmaatregelen : eerste drie promoties op basis van Milk Genomics Initiative (interview met Johan van Arendonk)

In 2004, the Milk Genomics Initiative (NGI) was launched – an exploration of the possibility to change the composition of milk though breeding measures. Five years later, it has become a fact that it is possible indeed, through selection of the most suitable animals, to attune the composition of both dairy fat and dairy protein to specific wishes. In milk fat the content of saturated fatty acids can be raised while in milk protein the casein concentration can be increased. In March and April 2009, the first three MGI research assistants obtained their doctoral degree on the basis of MGI research. An interview with the MGI project manager, Prof. Johan van Arendonk
