Introduction  Fatty acids (FA) composition influences the technological properties of butter  Already Coulter and Hill (1934) showed breed differences:  Butter of Channel Island was firmer than the one produced by Holstein or Ayrshire cows  Bobe et al. (2003):   UNSAT   spreadable, softer and less adhesive  Phenotypic variation in FA composition among cows fed with the same diet was sufficient to produce butter with different textural properties.

Objectives  Estimate the genetic parameters of the hardness of butter and  Estimate its correlations with milk yield, fat and protein contents using a multi-trait random regression test-day model.

Materials & Methods  Data:  Cows  85% Holstein in the first lactation  3,853 spectral test-day records Between April 2005 and May 2007 Walloon milk recording MilkoScan FT6000  1,099 cows in 87 herds  Added historical data for cows and herds First lactation test-day milk yields, %FAT, %PROT  Final data: 57,759 test-day records from 7,070 cows

Materials & Methods  Prediction of FA:  Soyeurt et al. (2006) : capillary column of 50m length  New calibration equations : capillary column of 100m length R²cv for SAT = 0.97 R²cv for UNSAT = 0.93  Hardness of butter : SAT/UNSAT

Materials & Methods  Estimation of (co)variance components:  Multi-trait random regression model: Milk yield, %FAT, %PROT and SAT/UNSAT  Fixed effects: Herd * test day Class of 15 DIM ( 365 were deleted) Class of age (<29 mo, mo and  33 mo)  Random effects: Random regressions: –Herd*calving year –Permanent environment –Animal genetic effect Residual effects considered independent

Results & Discussion Table 1. Heritability estimates on lactation and average daily heritability values calculated for all studied traits.

Results & Discussion Table 2. Phenotypic (above the diagonal) and genetic correlations (below the diagonal) among studied traits. Phenotypic correlation close to 0 suggested no dilution effect Strong negatively genetic correlations with milk yield

Results & Discussion Table 2. Phenotypic (above the diagonal) and genetic correlations (below the diagonal) among studied traits. Hardness of butter was affected by milk composition Stronger link between %FAT and SAT/UNSAT

Results & Discussion Figure 1. Phenotypic correlations among traits within DIM.  Milk – SAT/UNSAT  Linear increase  Dilution effect  %FAT – SAT/UNSAT  Strong link  Increased when %FAT decreased  %PROT-SAT/UNSAT  Stable

Results & Discussion Figure 2. Genetic correlations among traits within DIM.  Higher than phenotypic correlations  Milk – SAT/UNSAT  Dilution effect  %FAT – SAT/UNSAT  Strong link  %PROT-SAT/UNSAT  Stable

Conclusion & Perspectives  First results:  Genetic variability of the hardness of butter seemed to exist  Affected by milk production  Influenced by the variation of %FAT but less by the variation of %PROT  Perspectives:  From Sept. 2007, all spectra will be recorded  In a few years, more data will be available for modeling and potential genetic evaluations
