The growing demand of society for the products of farm animals entails continuous modernization of breeding programs. In order to improve the accuracy of genomic assessment of breeding value, the models that allow applying the data on contributions of specific polymorphic loci to the formation of economically beneficial traits have been used recently. Taking into account the functional role of the genes responsible for the formation of the mammary gland is important to improve the reliability of prediction for milk yield. This review describes the molecular-genetic basis of mammary gland development at the embryonic, prepubertal, and pubertal stages of development using the example of cattle and some other mammals. Particular focus is on epigenetic regulation. The data on genetics, morphophysiology, endocrinology, and the effects of microorganisms at different stages of mammary gland development are presented.
