The effect of maternal undernutrition before muscle differentiation on the muscle fiber development of the newborn lamb (2005)
Journal Article

There is a need to improve the lean tissue content of ruminant animals destined for meat production. Muscle fiber number is set during fetal development. The effect of undernutrition of pregnant ewes on subsequent muscle fiber characteristics of thei...

Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus (2005)
Journal Article

The number of muscle fibers within a muscle has been found to be of high importance for the growth potential of an animal, and this number is set during fetal development. The objective of this study was to identify the ontogeny of muscle cell differ... Read More about Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus.
