Although the livestock sector has a huge potential today due to the increasing world population and income level, it still does not produce at the desired and required level. Researchers use various methods by taking advantage of the possibilities offered by science in order to make goat meat and milk consumption, which they see as having an important place in the human food chain, more effective, to minimize product losses by increasing disease resistance, and to increase fertility. When we look at the composition of goat milk, it substitutes the closest protein and fat values to human milk. At the same time, the amount of selenium, which has an important place in nutrition, is quite high in its composition. In addition to its high nutritional content, thanks to the small diameter fat globules it contains, the suitability of its consumption in terms of ease of digestion has been revealed in studies conducted in people with lactose intolerance. Due to the economic difficulties, the productivity of Hair and Honamlı goats, which have a strong adaptation ability and are easy to care for, is decreasing day by day. Considering the nutritional and therapeutic properties of goat milk, there is a need for more milk production. Studies have revealed that many genes affect milk yield. Megan et al. The two most basic candidate genes are DGAT1 and POU1F1. These two genes have an effect on milk yield in goats in the following processes.
