“…These analyses could be useful for the development of conservation strategies for Turkish buffalo (Soysal et al 2007;Gargani et al 2010). Inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) is also a promising tool for assessing genetic diversity in buffalo populations for such parameters as PIC, Rp, H and I (Aytekin et al 2011).…”

Water buffalo are an ancient component of Turkey's domestic livestock resources. Commonly referred to as the Anatolian buffalo the animal is part of the Mediterranean group which includes Syrian, Egyptian and Southeast European animals. Once quite numerous, there have been drastic reductions in their numbers since the 1970s due to intensification of dairy activities, agricultural mechanization and changing consumer preferences. The main areas of distribution are in northwest Turkey in the Marmara and Black Sea Regions. Buffalo are kept in small herds by livestock and mixed crop-livestock farmers. Milk is the main product, meat is largely a by-product of the dairy function and provision of the once-important draught power is now a minor output. Buffalo milk is used to prepare a variety of speciality products but output of both milk and meat is very low in comparison to cattle. Conditions of welfare and health status are not optimal. Internal parasites are a constraint on productivity. Some buffalo are being used for conservation grazing in the Black Sea area to maintain optimal conditions for bird life in a nature reserve. Long neglected by government there are recent activities to establish conservation herds, set up in vitro banks and undertake molecular characterization. More effort is needed by government to promote buffalo production and to engage the general public in conservation of their national heritage.

“…The individual properties of the related loci of the cattle races can affect the DGAT1 K232A polymorphism and this may produce different effects on milk fat [4,5] . The utility of the cattles for milk and meat production, their adaptation to natural conditions and tolerance to diseases makes them economically advantageous [6,7] . Due to the mentioned reasons, the investigations of K232A polymorphism in cattle plays an important role in in milk industry and procurement of higher quality milk, thus consumer health.…”

SummaryIn this study, effects of DGAT1 K232 polymorphism and the allele frequency differences of "K" (alanine variant) and "L" (lysine variant) on some cattle milk qualities and some microbiological parameters which pose a risk on consumer health were investigated. For this purpose, 2 years old 50 cattles were used as material (25 Holstein race and 25 Native Black race). Blood samples were collected for determining the allele frequencies of DGAT1 gene. Then, during the experimental period (1 month) the milk of the cattles were collected once a week and the milk samples has been explored for some important foodborne pathogens (Total Aerobic Bacteria, Coliforms, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus) and milk quality parameters (pH, fat, density and acidity). According to the findings, it has been identified that DGAT1 gene frequency differences were significantly effective on some the parameters of milk qualities and the growth of coliforms, Esherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Keywords: DGAT1 gene, Milk quality, Polymorphism, Cattle, Foodborne pathogens Holstein ve Yerli Kara Sığır Irklarında DGAT1 K232a Poliformizminin ve Bunların Bazı Süt Kalite Parametrelerine Etkisinin Araştırılması ÖzetBu çalışmada, farklı ırk sığırlarda DGAT1 K232 polimorfizmi araştırılmış ve DGAT1 geninde bulunan "K" (alanin varyantı) ve "L" (lizin vasryantı) allel frekans farklılıklarının sığırların bazı süt kalite (süt verimi, sütte yağ oranı, pH vb.) parametrelerine ve tüketici sağlığı açısından risk teşkil eden önemli bazı gıda kaynaklı patojenlere etkisi incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla 2 yaşlı, 50 adet sığır (25 adet Holstein ırkı, 25 adet ise Yerlikara ırkı) materyal olarak kullanılmıştır. Sığırlardan kan örnekleri alınarak DGAT1 geni allel frekansları belirlenmiş ve daha sonraki dönemde ise haftada 1 kez olmak üzere 1 ay boyunca aynı sığırlardan süt örnekleri toplanmış ve toplanan süt örnekleri bazı önemli gıda kaynaklı mikrobiyolojik parametreler (toplam mezofilik erobik bakteri, koliformlar, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes ve Staphylococcus aureus olmak üzere) ve süt kalite parametreleri (pH, süt yağı, sütün yoğunluğu ve sütün asiditesi olmak üzere) açısından incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre DGAT1 geni allel frekans farklılıklarının, tüm süt kalite parametreleri ve mikrobiyolojik parametrelerden koliformlar, Esherichia coli ve Staphylococcus aureus üremelerinin üzerine istatistik açıdan belirgin derecede etkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

“…Buffalo play an important role in the rural economy of developing countries. In addition to the utility of these animals for milk and meat production, their adaptation to natural conditions and tolerance to diseases makes them economically advantageous (Aytekin et al, 2011;Mishra et al, 2007;Yilmaz et al, 2011).…”

“…Buffalo genetic resources are depleting and the loss of some genotypes may jeopardize the continuation of the species (Aytekin et al, 2011;Gargani et al, 2009;Mishra et al, 2007;Soysal et al, 2005;Yilmaz et al, 2011). For this reason, the Anatolian Water Buffalo are involved in a protection program of gene resources with the declaration of guidelines for subsidizing animal farming (Prescript no: 2006/9) by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in Turkey.…”

“…So it is highly important to characterize the molecular structure of Anatolian buffalo in Turkey. In the last decade, many molecular studies have been conducted using microsatellites (Gargani et al, 2009;Soysal et al, 2007), ISSR markers (Aytekin et al, 2011) and PRNP gene promoter (Ö ztabak et al, 2009) in Anatolian buffalo. DGAT1 polymorphism was identified in some of the indigenous cattle breeds in Turkey (Kaupe et al, 2002Kepenek, 2007), but not in indigenous Anatolian buffalo.…”
