Abstract
The epigenomic study has greatly facilitated the development of life science in recent years and opened an essential opportunity for animal science. Epigenetic research activities on farm animal species are lagging behind the extensive work in humans and model organisms. This chapter introduces recent achievements in epigenetic research and development and presents the most recent examples of epigenetic inheritance induced by epigenetic and environmental perturbation in livestock. We also survey the current state of recent significant progress in epigenetics and transgenerational epigenetics in livestock.
