Funded Activity Summary

Quantifying the effect of nutrient-gene interaction in utero in key tissues instrumental to productivity and sustainability of the beef industry. The cattle industry occupies 43 per cent of the land mass and provides 13 per cent of rural employment.

This project investigates the effect upon genes affecting appetite, ovarian development, adipogenesis, myogenesis and post natal growth.
