Maternal low protein diets prior to conception alter embryo and fetal development and are
associated with detrimental outcomes in the offspring in many species. The aim of this study
in beef cattle was to investigate the effect of preconception dietary protein upon maternal
and offspring behaviour at birth concomitant with the associated hormonal profile. Sixty days
prior to conception, nulliparous yearling heifers (n= 85) were fed either a High (PreH: 18%;
n= 43) or Low (PreL: 10%; n= 42) crude protein diet, followed by a control diet throughout …
