Early post-natal methionine supplementation in ewe lambs: Long-term effects on feed efficiency, milk yield and fatty acid profile, metabolism, gut microbiome, and epigenetic regulation
2025-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Nutritional strategies that supply methyl donors, such as methionine in the early post-natal period of lambs could program feed efficiency, milk production and metabolism along the whole life due to persistent changes in epigenetic marks. To test this hypothesis, 34 newborn ewe lambs from the same flock were stratified and distributed into two groups with equal body weight distribution. The control group (F0-CTRL,...
