Abstract: Nutrition is now recognized to play a key role in maintaining the health and longevity of human and animal populations and their resistance to disease [1-4]. Genetic, genomic and epigenetic functions have been shown in the last two decades to be directly and indirectly impacted by foods and the diet. As a result, medical practitioners, pediatricians, veterinarians have started applying genomics to the field of nutrition making Nutritional genomics (nutrigenomics) a vital part of assuring the quality and safety of human, livestock, and pet foods [3-7].
