Introduction
I study of animal physiology of pig and sheep in Tokachi regions. The maternal nutrition and breeding environment is greatly effect to offspring's development in domestic animals. We found interesting phenotype depend on maternal nutrition in offspring. The aim of our study, we discover gene expression system and gene modification by epigenetics.
In the future, we would like to find common mechanisms between livestock and human, and we reveal the effect of maternal perinatal environment relate to their offspring's development.
