This experiment evaluated how maternal metabolizable protein level and rumen-protected methionine supplementation during late gestation impacts expression of genes associated with fetal programming in beef steer offspring. In a 3 x 2 factorial arrangement, 138 Angus crossbred cows were randomly assigned one of three metabolizable protein (MP) treatments (fed to meet 90, 100, or 110% of MP requirements), with (without) 9 g/d of rumen-protected methionine (MET; Smartamine® M, Adisseo Inc.).
