Although the large data sets combining birth and placental weights, maternal and postnatal
nutrition, and health records are sparse for food animals, many controlled studies have …

In brief Developmental programming refers to the long-term programming of gene
expression during fetal and postnatal development, resulting in altered organ function even …

The focus of this review is maternal nutrition during the periconceptual period and offspring
developmental outcomes in beef cattle, with an emphasis on the first 50 d of gestation, which …

The molecular basis underlying fetal programming in response to maternal nutrition remains
unclear. Herein, we investigated the regulatory relationships between genes in fetal …

Maternal nutritional status affects conceptus development and, therefore, embryonic
survival, growth, and development. These effects are apparent very early in pregnancy …

Managing nutrient supply to match demand is critical for sustainable and efficient livestock
production. The California Net Energy System (CNES) was developed during the late 1950s …

Assisted reproductive techniques (ART) and parental nutritional status have profound effects
on embryonic/fetal and placental development, which are probably mediated via …

Developmental programming is the concept that 'stressors' during development (ie
pregnancy, the perinatal period and infancy) can cause long-term changes in gene …

Simple Summary Maternal nutrient supply during the periconceptual period has long-term
effects on fetal development and tissue function. During pregnancy, the fetus relies on the …

Maternal mineral nutrition during the critical phases of fetal development may leave lifetime
impacts on the productivity of an individual. Most research within the developmental origins …
