Summary A new k casein variant (k‐CN G) with a frequency of 0.003 was demonstrated in Pinzgauer cattle from Austria and Bavaria, Germany by iso‐electric focusing in polyacrylamide gels and by alkaline polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. k‐CN G was not present in milk samples of Limpurger, another endangered breed.
