This thesis examines the abundance of total and activated mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway components in the developing and functional ruminant mammary gland. mTOR pathway activation is stimulated by a wide range of intra- and extracellular signals, such as amino acids (AA) and hormones, making the mTOR pathway a potential candidate for the development of intervention strategies designed to increase ruminant lactation potential. Tissues from two trials shown to improve lactatio...
