Phenotype Phenotype
Phenotype = Genotype + Environment
Classic Animal Breeding Example
Phenotype Genotype + Environment
- Eg. Milk production = Holstein genetics + Mastitis

Phenotype = Genotype + Environment
Eg Yield grade = Angus genetics + Uterine environment

Programming Programming
- The process through which a stimulus or insult
The process through which a stimulus or insult establishes a permanent response
- Developmental programming hypothesis
- Exposure during a critical period in development
Exposure during a critical period in development may influence later metabolic or physiological functions in adult life

10 PRINCIPLES OF DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMMING PROGRAMMING
1) During development in the womb, there are critical periods of vulnerability to suboptimal conditions. Vulnerable periods occur at different times for different different times for different tissues.
