Abstract

Metabolomics will be one of the most important tools in the exploitation of the bovine genome sequencing project. The results of metabolomics will play important roles in many facets of animal production. This paper will give an introduction of metabolomics and its application in the field of animal production. It serves as the start of the metabolomics session at the 2006 conference of New Zealand Society of Animal Production covering the origin, analytical chemistry and ongoing research in metabolomics with a special focus on this research within New Zealand.
