Milking the dairy cattle epigenome: a co-methylation network to detect epigenetic biomarkers associated with metabolic stress in dairy calves


Introduction

  • Epigenetic information can be used to explain part of the residual variance in breeding programmes
  • Epigenetic marks can be inherited and detected
  • In dairy cattle, lactation and gestation can overlap. The embryo competes with the mammary tissue for energy
  • There can epigenetic differences between calves gestated by nonlactating heifers (PP) and by lactating multiparous cows (MP)
