Genetically elite ungulate mammals are identified on the basis of gene expression profiles from biological samples such as liver and blood. Methods and compositions are presented to select genetically elite animals with a desired phenotype such as high milk production for breeding to improve production levels. A method to select an animal with a specific phenotype, e.g. milk production and health traits, includes creating a Gene Expression Index for a specific phenotype and using the index to identify candidate animals for breeding by comparing the index to gene expression profiles of the animals.

A method comprising selection of unbroken whole grain rice that are first washed, or whole grain corn that is first reduced in size, and then making an aqueous slurry that is subsequently wet milled to release all the protein, fat, fiber, and starch components normally held in the structure of the grain. The resulting slurry can be reacted with heat to gelatinize the starch and the subsequent product dried. Also, the heated slurry containing the liberated components can be treated to enzymatic hydrolysis via the process of liquefaction and optionally saccharification, producing whole grain rice milk products having diverse carbohydrate compositions. The whole grain milk products are characterized by a nutritional composition containing substantially all the nutritional components of the whole grain, being an opaque whole milk colloid, having smooth texture versus pulpiness, lacking in all bitterness normally associated with whole grain products, and having a variety of sweetness levels from non-sweet to very sweet.
