Abstract

SummaryOne hundred and thirty-seven (Holstein (41), Montbéliarde (42) and Tarentaise (54)) dairy cows in first or second lactation received during winter one of two levels (high, H; low, L) of energy intake, and were later fed identically at pasture. Thrice in winter and twice at pasture, the chemical composition and coagulation properties of individual milks were measured. Milk from Holstein cows had lower casein and calcium contents, and poorer coagulation properties (curd firming time and curd firmness) than that from Montbéliardes and Tarentaises (P< 0·01). These differences practically disappeared when taking into account the distribution of the differentκ-casein variants and milk casein content.κ-BB milks had coagulation properties 20–50% superior, according to characteristic, to those of AA milks. In the three breeds, animals from the H group had casein contents higher by 1·4 g/l than those of the L group, which induced a significant improvement in curd firming time, curd firmness and cheese yield. Turning out to pasture induced an increase of 0·02 in milk pH, and improved milk coagulation properties. These changes did not appear to result entirely from the parallel increase in milk casein content.
