Nutrigenomics for Poultry-new Tools for Maximizing Performance
نویسنده
چکیده
Technology has catapulted science from simple descriptive observations to highly parallel quantitative assessments of the intricacies of our natural world. The recent technologies that have led to the new field of functional genomics (how the genome of an organism regulates homeostasis and responds to stimuli) are providing a clearer understanding of how organisms interact with their environment and in particular their diet. The alimentary canal (gut) constitutes the largest surface area with which higher organisms intimately interact with their environment. In the following discussion, the role of functional genomics in the future of nutrition research (nutrigenomics) and the potential for improving poultry production will be discussed.

Nutrigenomics is the study of the effect of nutrition on gene expression which discusses how DNA is converted to mRNA and then converted mRNA to protein, and is the basis for understanding the biological activity of edible compounds. Nutritional manipulations and nutritional approaches are key tools to influence the performance and health of organisms. Today, it has been shown that better nutri...

متن کاملAlpharma Beef Cattle Nutrition Symposium: nutrition and the genome.
It has long been appreciated that animals fed the same diet may perform differently. This is due to the ability of nutrients to interact with and affect molecular pathways that result in differences in BW gain, production performance, or disease resistance. To understand these effects, studies are being undertaken to discover how the differential expression and function of genes occur with diff...
