The prospects for genetic modification of milk protein and fat were discussed on the basis of literature review. The purpose of this study was to improve the dietetic and nutritive values of milk as well as its technological usability in milk industry. The results of traditional breeding methods such as selection and crossbreeding were presented. The relations among different forms of milk casein and whey proteins and milk chemical composition, physico-chemical and technological parameters were analysed. The prospects for genetic engineering concerning milk protein genes were also considered.
