AB  - This paper aimed at evaluating the effect of summer transhumance to mountain 
      pastures of dairy cows of different breeds on cheese-making ability of milk. Data 
      were from 649 dairy cows of specialized (Holstein Friesian and Brown Swiss) dual 
      purpose (Simmental) and local (mostly Rendena and Alpine Grey) breeds. The 
      Fourier-Transform Infra-Red Spectra (FTIRS) of their milk samples were collected 
      before and after transhumance in 109 permanent dairy farms, and during 
      transhumance in 14 summer farms (with multi-breeds herds) of the Trento Province, 
      north-eastern Italy. A variety of 18 traits describing milk coagulation, curd 
      firming, cheese yield and nutrients recovery in curd/loss in whey were predicted 
      on the basis of FTIRS collected at the individual cow level. Moving the cows to 
      summer farms improved curd firming traits but reduced cheese yields because of an 
      increase of water and fat lost in the whey. During summer grazing, most of 
      cheese-making traits improved, often non-linearly. The milk from summer farms 
      supplementing cows with more concentrates showed better curd firming and cheese 
      yield, because of lower fat lost in the whey. The breed of cows affected almost 
      all the traits with a worst cheese-making ability for milk samples of Holsteins 
      through all the trial, and interacted with concentrate supplementation because 
      increasing compound feed tended to improve cheese-making traits for all breed, 
      with the exception of local breeds for coagulation time and of Brown Swiss for 
      curd firming time. In general, summer transhumance caused a favourable effect on 
      cheese-making aptitude of milk, even though with some difference according to 
      parity, initial days in milk, breed and concentrate supplementation of cows.
