| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recent research has discovered a unique phenomenon referred to as ‘fetus and neonatal programming’, which is based on ‘the developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD)’ concept. These studies have shown that alterations in fetus and early postnatal nutrition and endocrine status may result in developmental adaptations that permanently change the structure, physiology and metabolism of affected animals during adult life. The timing of the perturbation in maternal nutrient availability plays an important role in determining the effect that the fetal and neonatal programming have on the developing placenta or fetus and offspring performance. In this study about Japanese Black cattle, it was suggested that there might be strong effects of maternal and neonatal nutrition on the meat quality and quantity.
