353. Programming Effects of Removing Maternal Heat Abatement on Beef Offspring Growth, Thermotolerance, and Liver Transcriptomics During Backgrounding.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the fetal programming effects of removing maternal heat abatement during late gestation on offspring growth, thermotolerance, physiological responses, and liver gene expression during the backgrounding phase. Fifty-six Angus-cross calves [225 ± 5.3 kg body weight (BW); 9...
