Fetal Programming: Implications for Beef Cattle Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
The concept of fetal programming, also known as developmental programming, was first hypothesized using human epidemiological data in which environmental stimulus in utero resulted in altered long term development, growth, and disease susceptibility in children from undernourished mothers during the Dutch famine (Barker et al., 1993). Recently, literature regarding the effects of fetal programming in domesticated livestock has been reviewed (Funston et al., 2010a).
