The Creation of Next Feeding System in Cattle : Studies on Metabolic Imprinting during Early Growth Stage

本研究通过分子生物学、形态学和生理学等方面的研究，探讨和牛生长早期代谢印记对其体质的影响。综上所述，生长早期的高能饲养，即代谢印迹处理，不仅显著影响和牛骨骼肌肉量和肉质相关基因的mRNA表达，而且显著影响和牛的肉量和肉质。

In this study, we investigated how the metabolic imprinting during an early growth stage influences on constitution of Wagyu cattle by molecular-biologically, morphologically and physiologically investigating. In conclusion, it was clarified that the feeding at high energy level during the early growth stage, what is called, metabolic imprinting treatment, markedly influenced not only mRNA expressions of genes related to meat quantity and quality in skeletal muscles but also meat quantity and quality in Wagyu cattle.
