Provenance information This project aims to study the feasibilty of predicting milk proteins and milk coagulation traits using the milk mid-infrared spectral data. Different prediction models were tested as well as different combinations of prediction features. Measurements: + The protein content was quantified using the HPLC. The colour was quantified using a Chroma Meter CR400, while the milk coagulation properties were quantified using a Formograph. More information can be found in these papers: + Effectiveness of mid-infrared spectroscopy to predict the color of bovine milk and the relationship between milk color and traditional milk quality traits; https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022030216001612 + Prediction of bovine milk technological traits from mid-infrared spectroscopy analysis in dairy cows; https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022030215004932
