Proteomic assessments of muscle tissues in cattle that are diet restricted and subsequently undergo compensatory growth
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Compensatory growth is a naturally occurring accelerated growth phenomenon observed in cattle upon re-alimentation following a prior period of dietary restriction (Hornick et al., 2000). It is incorporated into man production systems as a method to reduce feed costs and consequently is economically important for animal production systems. The goal of our research project is to identify biomarkers for cattle with a superior ability to display compensatory growth. Transcriptional profiling studies of liver and muscle tissues in cattle have shown large numbers of differentially expressed genes in animals undergoing dietary restriction and subsequent compensatory growth when compared to a continuously-fed ad libitum control group of cattle (Connor et al., 2010; Keogh et al., 2016a,b). Given the identification of differential expression at the transcript level, the intended project aims to evaluate potential differences in protein abundance between animals that are diet restricted and subsequently undergo compensatory growth compared to a continuously-fed ad libitum control group of cattle. Differences in genes that are apparent at both the protein and the transcript level are more likely to be transferable across breed type (Snelling et al., 2013) and consequently have more utility for incorporation within genomic selection breeding programs for cattle evaluations.
