Genetic Selection for Growth Rate Reshapes the Plasma Metabolome of Rabbit Does Derived from Vitrified Embryos: Insights into Nutrient Metabolism and Productive Efficiency
< 0.0001) than R19V. GR selection affected key metabolites related to lipid metabolism and energy balance, reflecting potential changes in nutrient utilization efficiency. These findings highlight the interplay between genetics and nutrient efficiency in shaping the metabolome, offering insights that may support nutritional management in genetically improved livestock.
