Breeders appreciated Italian Jersey dairy cattle (IJ) for the efficiency and high quality of milk yield in the national dairy scenario. The overall object of this PhD thesis is to investigate the phenotypic and genetic aspects of milk production, conformation and somatic cell score traits of IJ in order to lay the groundwork for an updating of selection index in IJ population (Jersey Quality Index). The first chapter aimed to highlight the phenotypic peculiarities of IJ milk and confirmed that high content of fat (5.18%), protein (4.08%) and casein (3.16%) made IJ milk suitable for cheese manufacture. Moreover, somatic cell score (SCS), one of the best indicator of both clinical and subclinical mastitis, was investigated in IJ. The SCS ...
