Abstract

The environmental effects during gestation epigenetically modulate a series of adaptive physiological events in the conceptus whose effects (beneficial or deleterious) can manifest clinical or subclinical from birth to adulthood and trans generationally to the progeny for several generations. Nutritional levels (deficits or excess), environmental contaminants (air, water, transcutaneous), socio-cultural environment, in vitro manipulation of gametes and embryos can leave their epigenetic marks by various mechanisms, some reversible and self-controlled and others persist most of the time without being detected or perceived generating clinical problems of etiologies often unknown or poorly attributed. In a species such as horses, generally intended for supra-physiological and artificial efforts, these effects are increasingly important.
