Abstract: The objective of this study was to investigate the lifelong
effect of in utero nutrition fed at different stages of pregnancy in
Bali cows (n = 40): (U1) without in utero nutrition (0 – parturition,
negative control); (U2) 0 – 90 d of gestation; (U3) 90 - 180 d of
gestation; (U4) 180 d – parturition; and (U5) in utero nutrition along
gestation period (0 d to parturition – positive control) on the growth
performance of the offspring to weaning age. The results indicated
that effect of maternal nutrition on male and female offspring were
particularly indicated by the growth performance of both the male
and female offspring from birth to weaning.
