    Abstract: The present invention relates to polymorphisms indicative of altered milk fatty acid composition in female milk-producing cattle. In particular, the present invention provides methods for selecting a cattle which possesses a genotype which in female milk-producing cattle is indicative of a desired milk fatty acid composition and cattle selected by said method. Further, the present invention provides milk produced by the female milk-producing cattle, methods for selective breeding and non-human gametes. Use of a nucleic acid molecule or an oligonucleotide in an in vitro method for determining the presence of at least one allele, which in a female milk-producing cattle is indicative of a desired milk fatty acid composition, is also part of the present invention.
