The aim of this study was to determine the genetic effect of cow breed on the yield and quality of cow's milk. Cows of two different breeds, Montbeliarde (M, n = 51) and Polish Holstein-Friesian (PHF, n = 46), were used in this study. They were between the 45th and 100th day of lactation and managed under the same environmental conditions. Milk samples were collected twice (in May and June 2008). M milk was characterized by significantly lower milk yield and somatic cell count than PHF milk. Significantly higher levels of C18: 2 cis-9 trans-11 and almost 2-fold C20:5 n-3 were also recorded. However, PHF milk had a better composition of protein fraction (higher concentrations of lactoferrin, alpha-lactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin) and higher concentrations of vitamins D and E. It was also characterized by more favorable fat fraction with significantly lower concentrations of saturated fatty acids (C14:0, C18:0) as well as lower atherogenic and thrombogenic indexes and higher concentrations of C18:2 trans-10 cis-12, C20:3 n-6 and C 22:6 n-3.
