Consequence of epigenetic processes on animal health and productivity: is additional level of regulation of relevance?

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic factors respond to environmental factors and underlying genotypes to influence livestock phenotypic expression (e.g., milk yield, wool quality, disease resistance, growth, and development, etc.). Epigenetic alterations are associated with livestock traits and with differences in livestock product yields. A window is opened for exploring the mechanisms of disease resistance in farm animals through...
