Maternal nutrition significantly influences fetal development and postnatal outcomes. This study investigates the impact of maternal overfeeding during mid to late pregnancy on gene expression in the round and sirloin muscles of Hanwoo neonatal calves. Eight cows were assigned to either a control group receiving standard nutrition (100%) or a treated group receiving overnutrition (150%).

This study investigates the effects of pregnancy status, seasonal variations, and diurnal shifts on the body temperature of different body parts in dairy cows. Using a structured approach, cows were categorized based on pregnancy status (pregnant vs.

- - Adipose tissue plays a critical role in bodily functions and is made up of various cell types, including adipocytes, which produce bioactive peptides called adipokines, such as Apelin (APLN), Visfatin (VSFTN), and Irisin (IRSN).
- - These adipokines are crucial for regulating metabolism (energy, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) and influence factors like insulin sensitivity and cardiovascular health.
- - Current research highlights the importance of APLN, VSFTN, and IRSN in farm animals, but more targeted studies are needed to fully understand their roles and improve animal health and productivity.
This study investigated the transcriptomic responses of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and liver in newborn Hanwoo calves subjected to maternal overnutrition during mid- to late gestation. Eight Hanwoo cows were randomly assigned to control and treatment groups. The treatment group received a diet of 4.
