- W2146741281 abstract "Sheep and goat production in Mediterranean regions is increasingly reliant on focus feeding strategies for improving reproductive performance while maximising pasture utilisation and returns on investment in supplements. The strategies have been developed through the integration of four research areas. First, is the nutritional needs for each stage of the reproductive process, from conception to puberty to the start of productive life. Second is the links between reproduction and energy homeostasis, an area of research that led us to the concept of status and a better understanding of: (i) the main physiological (hormonal, neuronal) processes; (ii) genetic influences on the sensitivity of reproduction to changes in metabolic status; and (iii) temporal relationships among these interactions. The main conclusion from this work is that animals use multiple signals (insulin, leptin, ghrelin, kisspeptin) to measure the quantity, quality and timing of variations in metabolic status. The third research area is practical strategies for early adoption by farmers of some aspects of focus feeding: improving sperm production, ovulation rate and colostrum production. Fourth, we are investigating factors preventing adoption of the riskier aspects of focus feeding, with an emphasis on two areas: (i) the effects of nutrition on embryo mortality, fetal programming of adult performance, and postnatal survival; and (ii) low-cost techniques for controlling the timing of pregnancy in flocks and herds so that nutritional management can be focused and cost-effective for each stage of the reproductive process. These techniques include ultrasound and a hormone-free option, the male effect." @default.
