Abstract :
· Prenatal factors can play a critical role in the developmental programming of production and reproduction in dairy cows.
· Maternal parity can affect milk production and the reproductive performance of the offspring.
· Maternal exposure to heat stress during gestation can affect milk production and reproductive performance of the offspring.
