Abstract
This paper reviews research on consequences of cattle nutrition and growth during foetal and neonatal life for subsequent growth, efficiency, carcass, yield and beef quality characteristics (Greenwood and Cafe 2007). It includes findings from our recent studies on consequences of growth during pregnancy and to weaning (Greenwood et al., 2006). The reader is also referred to reviews on consequences of prenatal development in livestock by Bell (2006), and on consequences of bovine foetal, pre-weaning and early post-weaning nutrition and growth by Greenwood et al., (2005).
