| Abstract: | Good food intake behavior is the basis of maintaining the growth and development of animal and improving production performance.Olfaction and taste are two important senses in the progress of animal food intake.They are determined by olfactory receptor genes and taste receptor genes respectively,which are relatively large gene family in mammalian genomes.They express not only in the sense organs,but also widely in the respiratory,digestive,reproductive and other systems.This paper analyzed the consumption of mutton and sheep breeding in China.It gave an overview of the latest research progress on the olfaction,taste and their receptor gene.Finally,the function and mechanism of olfaction and taste in animal food intake,and the utilization in livestock production were expounded.This paper provided a theoretical reference for the study of the sense of olfaction and taste in animal food feeding especially in sheep. |
