Abstract

The Ruminant Nutrition Symposium titled “Modulation of Metabolism with Nutrition and Management” was held at the joint annual meeting of the American Society of Animal Science on July 10-14, 2011, in New Orleans, LA. The objective of this symposium was to provide new information regarding the complicated processes of pre- and post-natal nutrition on the metabolism and production efficiency of dairy cattle. This topic, with regards to meat producing animals, was previously covered at the 2010 joint animal meeting held in Denver, CO on July 11-15, 2011, by 2 symposiums organized by the ASAS Western Section Symposium titled “Prenatal Programming of Offspring Quality 1: Basic Concepts and Experimental Evidence” and “Prenatal Programming of Offspring Quality 2: Evidence for Impacts of Maternal Nutrition on Livestock Production.” However, because dairy cattle are managed so differently than beef cattle and the primary product produced is dissimilar, the committee believed that this topic deserved special consideration for dairy cattle.
