Nigerian indigenous goats represent a valuable genetic resource for meat and milk production. However, their productivity often falls below their genetic potential because of sub-optimal nutrition. Nutrigenomics offers a revolutionary approach to bridge this gap by exploring the interactions between nutrients and goat genes. This study explores how nutrigenomic tools can be used to identify gene variants associated with feed efficiency, meat quality, and milk production. Various technologies are designed to ensure the realization of genetic potential. Nutrigenomics is aimed at exploiting the noncoding section of an individual's genome, which is disregarded in traditional animal nutrient requirement assessment. Nutrigenomic technology has the potential to unlock the genetic potential of animals and essentially help to confront nutritional challenges and sub-optimal use of available feed resources, particularly in Nigerian indigenous goats, of which there is a dearth of information on their nutritional needs and requirements. This review discusses the potential of nutrigenomics to unlock the genetic potential of Nigerian indigenous goats. In addition, the review discusses the challenges and future directions of nutrigenomic research in Nigerian goats. By implementing nutrigenomic strategies, Nigerian goat production can be revolutionized, leading to increased productivity, improved product quality, and enhanced farmer livelihoods. It is hoped that this review will provide vital information to aid research into the nutrigenomics potential of unlocking the genetic potentials and reproductive performance of Nigerian indigenous goats through nutrition.
尼日利亚本土山羊是肉类和奶类生产的宝贵遗传资源。然而，由于营养欠佳，它们的生产力往往低于其遗传潜力。营养基因组学提供了一种革命性方法，通过探索营养物质与山羊基因之间的相互作用来弥合这一差距。本研究探讨了如何利用营养基因组学工具来识别与饲料效率、肉质和产奶量相关的基因变异。设计了各种技术以确保遗传潜力的实现。营养基因组学旨在开发个体基因组的非编码部分，而这在传统动物营养需求评估中被忽视。营养基因组学技术有潜力释放动物的遗传潜力，并从根本上帮助应对营养挑战以及现有饲料资源利用不足的问题，特别是在尼日利亚本土山羊方面，目前关于它们的营养需求和要求的信息匮乏。本综述讨论了营养基因组学释放尼日利亚本土山羊遗传潜力的可能性。此外，该综述还讨论了尼日利亚山羊营养基因组学研究的挑战和未来方向。通过实施营养基因组学策略，尼日利亚山羊生产可实现变革，提高生产力、改善产品质量并增强农民生计。希望本综述将提供重要信息，以助力通过营养来挖掘尼日利亚本土山羊遗传潜力和繁殖性能的营养基因组学潜力的研究。
