Question

Describe what molecular nutrition is in farm animals in two paragraphs

KEYWORDS: nutrients interactions, gene regulations, and performances

Answer 1

Molecular nutrition in farm animals is studied under nutrigenomics.

It has emerged as a novel and multidisciplinary research field in nutritional science that aims to eloborate how dietary nutrients can interact with genes affecting transcription factors, RNA and protein expression, cellular homeostasis and metabolite production.

Gene expression is modified by a number of dietary components such as carbohydrates, proteins, fatty acids, vitamins and flavonoids, isothicyanates.These gene expressions improve animal production in chickens and dairy cows.and also to prevent and treat diseases.
