A1A2 Genotyping Test
Beware of the A1A2 status of the diary product you have consumed and the cattle you have to breed or rear for milk!
The A1A2 genotyping test is a revolutionary tool in the field of milk and dairy production, allowing for the precise identification of the beta-casein gene variants in cattle. By distinguishing between the A1 and A2 beta-casein genes, this test enables dairy farmers and producers to make informed decisions about their herds and products, potentially impacting the health and well-being of consumers. With research suggesting that A2 milk may be easier to digest and less inflammatory than A1 milk, the A1A2 genotyping test opens up new possibilities for tailored dairy products and more informed consumer choices. By unlocking the genetic secrets of milk production, this test paves the way for a more personalized and sustainable dairy industry.
PRICE
Varies between 6 $ (1500 PKR) to 20 $ (5000 PKR) per sample, depending on the nature of the test.
Frequently Asked Questions
A2A2 cows produce milk with only the A2 protein. Cows that are A1A1 will produce milk with only the A1 protein. Cows that are A1A2 will produce milk that contains both A1 and A2 proteins.
The only way to tell if a cow produces 100% A2 milk is via a genetic test. It’s a simple test done with a hair sample from a cow’s tail. You send it to a lab, and they send back the results. The test result tells you if the cow produces 100% A1, A1/A2, or 100% A2 milk.
A1 and A2 are specific proteins found in cow’s milk, though in different proportions depending on the breed of cattle. The original claim about boring old A1 milk was that it may cause diseases ranging from autism and schizophrenia to type 1 diabetes and heart disease.
A2 milk is a variety of dairy milk that may be easier to tolerate, particularly if your body does not tolerate A1 beta-casein. For those who love the taste of dairy milk and are not lactose-intolerant, but experience tummy trouble after enjoying this classic nutritious beverage, A2 milk may be a nice solution.
