  ABSTRACT: Genetic factors can affect cheese and butter making abilities and nutritional composition of milk. The study aimed to assess the influence of breed on the technological and compositional qualities of milk from four indigenous cattle breeds of Benin (Borgou, N’Dama, Azawak, and Lagunaire breeds). A total of 10 L of milk per cow breed reared on natural pasture were analysed for rennet coagulation time, curd firmness, and butter-making potential using formagraph and AOAC methods. Data were processed with SAS software. Breed significantly affected (P
