Resumen
The important role played by prenatal conditions on the neonate’s phenotype and itsgrowth potential, body characteristics and balance between health and disease is now wellestablished. These data come primarily from biomedical studies in humans and rodents. Atthe productive level, these effects have been studied mainly in pig, because of its economicimportance. In the case of small ruminants, the production data are scarce and most of theinformation comes from experimental studies as a translational model in human medicine.The aim of this review is to provide data on how fetal programming and epigeneticsinfluence sheep production traits. In some places, the review relies heavily on the knowledgeand experience gained from a wide variety of species, but in particular humans and pigswhere most of the data reside.
