Scientists involved in research on livestock productivity have for decades studied postnatal consequences of fetal development on productivity. Recently, however, there has been a surge in interest in how to manage prenatal development to enhance livestock health and productivity. This has occurred largely due to the studies that show human health in later life can be influenced by events during prenatal life, and establishment of the Fetal Origins and the Thrifty Phenotype Hypotheses. This book, Managing the Prenatal Environment to Enhance Livestock Productivity reviews phenotypic consequences of prenatal development, and provides details of mechanisms that underpin these effects in ruminants, pigs and poultry. The chapters have been divided into three parts: Quantification of prenatal effects on postnatal productivity, mechanistic bases of postnatal consequences of prenatal development and regulators of fetal and neonatal nutrient supply...Managing the Prenatal Environment to Enhance L | 出版日期 | Book 2010 | 关键词 | Broiler; Fetal programming; Fetus; Livestock; Neonate; Nutrition; metabolism | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-90-481-3135-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-9183-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-90-481-3135-8 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 |
