Abstract:
Protected fat has been used successfully in diets for lactating and growing ruminants. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of including a source of protected fat - Megalac ® -in complete diets for artificially reared lambs.The trial involved 39 lambs which were weaned at 30 to 35 days following a period of artificial rearing on a ewe milk replacer containing 60 g fat per kg and fed at a restricted level.The lambs were penned individually on sawdust and were given access to one of three complete diets from 20 days of age. The diets were in pellet form and differed mainly in the level of Megalac included (Table 1). Megalac is a protected fat which is a calcium soap and contains (g/kg) oil 850, calcium 90 and has the approximate fatty acid composition (g/kg) C14 15, C16 110, C18 50, C18:1 400, C18:2 95. Lambs were allocated to diets within blocks which varied according to sex (entire male or female) and breed (Cambridge or Suffolk x Cambridge).

Abstract:
Collegiate athletes are always looking for ways to improve their performance. Resistance training has been incorporated into most collegiate athletic programs for this very reason. In order to improve strength, lean body mass, and exercise performance, resistance exercise and timely protein ingestion must be followed. Incorporating protein ingestion into a resistance training routine has been shown to improve net protein balance. Milk protein is gaining popularity as an ergogenic aid. There has been growing interest in the potential use of bovine milk (cow’s milk) as an exercise beverage, especially during recovery from resistance training and endurance sports. No studies have been conducted comparing fat free chocolate milk and low fat chocolate milk on muscular strength and body composition in collegiate softball players. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether fat free chocolate milk and low fat chocolate milk ingested after resistance exercise improves common performance assessments of collegiate softball players. Specifically, the performance assessments were the vertical jump test, 20-yard sprint, and the agility t-test. The participants were randomized according to strength and bodyweight, in a double blind experimental design. The 18 female, collegiate softball players (18.5 ± .7 yrs; 65.7 ± 1.8 inches; 156.2 ± 21.6 kg) ingested either fat free chocolate milk or low fat chocolate milk immediately after resistance exercise workouts for an 8-week period. Dependent variables included vertical jump test, 20-yard sprint test and agility t-test. The data was analyzed via a paired samples t-test (to detect difference across both groups over the eight week training period) and an independent samples t-test (to detect differences between the groups) using SPSS for Windows 15.0. No statistically significant differences were found in the vertical jump, 20 yard sprint, or agility t-test between the fat free chocolate milk group and the low fat chocolate milk group. The major, statistical, finding of this study is that the consumption of commercially available fat free chocolate milk versus low fat chocolate milk drink does not produce improvements in exercise performance in conjunction with an eight week periodized, resistance training program in collegiate softball players. The difference of 10 grams of fat (two servings per container) did not alter any of the performance variables (20 yard sprint, vertical jump or agility t-test).

In 3 experiments, 4,720 pigs were used to determine the effects of: 1) dietary fat and feeding duration on growth performance and fat quality in finishing pigs; or 2) a novel protease or 3) increasing levels of Zn amino acid complex (ZnAA) or ZnO on finishing pig performance. Experiment 1 tested the effects of feeding tallow, soybean oil, or a blend of the two for various feeding durations (d 0 to 42, 42 to 84, or 0 to 84). Overall, pigs fed added fat for the entire 84 d had improved G:F compared to those fed a control diet. Additionally, pigs fed additional fat for the entire study had improved ADG and G:F as well as increased d 84 BW compared to pigs fed additional fat for 42 d. Increasing the feeding duration of soybean oil lowered monounsaturated fatty acids and increased polyunsaturated fatty acid concentrations while these values remained relatively unchanged by the addition of tallow. There were feeding period by fat source interactions for fatty acid composition and iodine value for belly and backfat, but not jowl fat, indicating a longer turnover rate for jowl fat compared to belly or backfat. In Exp. 2, adding a protease to a nutrient deficient diet increased ADFI and tended to increase ADG compared to pigs fed a negative control diet. There were no differences observed in ADG, ADFI, or G:F between pigs fed a positive control diet, formulated to 90% of the pigs SID lysine requirement, and those fed a negative control diet plus the protease, which would suggest the release values attributed to the enzyme were accurate. In Exp. 3, supplementing additional Zn from either ZnAA or ZnO at 25, 50, or 75 ppm in finishing diets for commercial finishing pigs was evaluated. Overall, no differences were observed in ADFI, but a Zn source by level interaction was observed for ADG and G:F, as pigs fed increasing ZnO were observed to have similar performance, while pigs fed added levels of 25 and 50 ppm Zn from ZnAA had decreased performance compared to those fed the highest level of ZnAA.

Abstract:
Effects of tallow supplementation on dietary nutrient and minimal amino acid utilization in the laying hen were studied in two experiments. In the first experiment diets contained six levels of animal tallow ranging from 0 to 10%. Percent egg production and egg mass were not significantly affected by tallow. Body weight was significantly increased by 2% tallow was maximum at 6%. Addition of up to 6% fat improved feed conversion without adversely affecting other production characteristics. Metabolizable energy (ME) intake increased from 305.1 to 322.4 kcal/hen/d over the range of 0 to 6% tallow with no further improvement at higher tallow levels. Maximum net energetic efficiency was obtained with 2 and 4% tallow. Ability to digest tallow declined significantly with hen age. Higher tallow ME values were obtained from calorimetry data than from digestibility measurements due to beneficial effects of tallow on digestibilities of fat and protein in the basal diet. No improvement in starch retention was observed with tallow supplementation. In the second experiment, diets containing four levels of protein (15.0, 13.6, 15.0 + methionine and 17.0%) without and with 3% tallow were fed to hens housed in an open cage house or an insulated, evaporatively cooled house. Egg production and egg mass were significantly higher in the insulated house. This study indicates that reducing total protein below the National Research Council (NRC, 1984) recommended level significantly reduced egg production by birds housed in an open house. Supplemental methionine to provide .60% TSAA was required for maximum egg production. Egg production was significantly improved with the low protein diet when 3% tallow was added; however, egg production rate supported by this combination was significantly below that obtained with the 17% protein diet either with or without added tallow. For birds housed in the insulated, evaporatively cooled house the diet based on the NRC amino acid recommendations appeared to be optimal for performance, even with a lower protein level. No additional benefits were obtained in egg production with 3% tallow in any of the diets under these housing conditions.

Abstract:
Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att undersöka om det finns stöd i nuvarande forskning för att en fettrik kost är mer effektiv som nutritionsstrategi vid uthållighetsprestationer jämfört med en kolhydratrik kost. Studiens frågeställningar är: Förbättras uthållighetsprestationen av en fettrik kost jämfört med en kolhydratrik kost? Hur påverkas kolhydrat- och fettmetabolismen av en högfett- och lågkolhydratkost? Metod Litteratursökningen genomfördes i databaserna Ebsco, Pubmed och Cinahl. Totalt inkluderades 16 artiklar, 11 artiklar från litteratursökningen i databaserna och 5 artiklar från valda referenslistor. Studierna kvalitetsgranskades med hjälp av SBU:s granskningsmall för randomiserade kontrollerade studier. Resultat I 3 av 16 studier förbättrades uthållighetprestationen vid intag av högfett- och lågkolhydratkost, i 4 av 16 studier försämrades prestationen och i resterande 9 studier sågs ingen signifikant skillnad i prestationen mellan kostinterventionerna. Majoriteten av studierna fick en förhöjd fettoxidation som resultat av en högfett- och lågkolhydratkost men ingen signifikant skillnad gällande blodglukos-, blodinsulin- eller blodlaktatvärde mellan kostinterventionerna. Slutsats Trots en förhöjd fettoxidation och välfyllda glykogenlager finns inte tillräcklig evidens för att påvisa en generell prestationshöjning vid uthållighetsprestationer av en högfettkost jämfört med en högkolhydratkost. Detta troligtvis på grund av nedsatt förmåga hos musklerna att använda glykogen. Resultaten från de studier som ingick i denna systematiska litteraturstudie visar konsekvent en försämrad prestation efter intag av högfett- och lågkolhydratkost vid arbetsintensiteter över 80% av VO2max. Vid arbetsintensiteter omkring 60-70% av VO2max kan prestationen eventuellt förbättras efter intag av högfettkost bestående av 60-70% fett och mindre än 15% kolhydrater.
Aim The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is scientific evidence that a high fat diet is more effective as a nutrition strategy for endurance performance than a high carbohydrate diet is. The objectives of the study are: Does endurance performance improve by a high fat diet compared by a high carbohydrate diet? How is the metabolism of fat and carbohydrate affected by a high fat and low carbohydrate diet? Method The literature search was conducted in the databases Ebsco, Pubmed and Cinahl. A total of 16 studies was included, 11 studies from the literature search and 5 studies from selected reference lists. The studies quality was audited by SBU: s questionnaire for randomized controlled studies. Results Endurance performance was enhanced after ingesting a high fat- and low carbohydrate diet in 3 of 16 studies and was decreased in 4 of 16 studies. In the remaining 9 studies there was no significant difference in performance between the two trials. A high fat- and low carbohydrate diet resulted in an increased fat oxidation in the majority of the studies but there was no significant difference in bloodglucose-, blodinsulin- or blodlactatelevels between the two trials. Conclusions Despite increased fat oxidation and well-filled glycogen levels there is not sufficient evidence to prove that endurance performance will be enhanced by a high fat diet compared to a high carbohydrate diet. This is probably because of a lower ability of the muscles to use glycogen. The results from this systematic review consequently shows a decreased performance after a high fat- and low carbohydrate diet at work intensities over 80% of VO2max. At intensities around 60-70% of VO2max, the performance can possibly be enhanced after a high fat diet consisting 60-70% of fat and 15% or lower of carbohydrate.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigated three commonly used nutritional interventions that are often claimed to alter substrate metabolism and improve exercise performance: green tea extract (GTE), coffee and vitamin D. GTE and caffeine have been hypothesized to increase fat oxidation at rest and during exercise, thereby lowering the reliance on skeletal muscle glycogen and improving endurance exercise capacity. We observed that 7 days GTE supplementation resulted in an increase in metabolites related to fat and energy metabolism at rest but not during moderate intensity exercise. The current thesis also found that endurance exercise performance can be improved to the same extent by either using coffee or caffeine. However, these improvements in endurance exercise performance were independent of changes to fat oxidation during exercise. We also demonstrate that athletes living in Birmingham, United Kingdom, display a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency during the winter and thus require nutritional support. However, despite the high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, there was no association between vitamin D status and skeletal muscle function or exercise performance. Short term vitamin D supplementation at doses above the current recommended daily allowance was highly effective in correcting vitamin D deficiency to sufficiency. But supplementation did not alter any measure of performance.

Abstract:
This research project examines the misreading of satire in some productions of Neil LaBute’s play, Fat Pig. This practice led project aims to investigate why such misinterpretations occur and explore the theatrical styles that emphasise the satire in the text via rehearsal processes and production. There will be three preliminary paths undertaken in this research heading toward a new production of Fat Pig; an exploration of the responses of audiences and critics to past productions; an analysis of the background to Neil LeBute and his work; and an examination of theatrical expressions of satire, experimental theatre, contemporary theatre, and their practitioners. The overall aim of this research project is to find ways, as a director, to experiment with theatrical styles as a means to expand the play’s complex issues and ironic take on society’s narrow view of female beauty. This study will explore the following questions: what is the correlation between staging and design (the director’s influence and how an audience interprets meaning; and what forms of theatrical expression will highlight and emphasise the satire and irony present in the text? In what ways can critical reviews and feedback from previous productions indicate the understanding (or lack of understanding) of the ironic content in the script? Can situating LaBute in the context of his satiric writing style that straddles literary elements from opposing absurd and realism genres shed light on how irony can be exposed in Fat Pig? The project’s new production aims to underscore the play’s social commentaries by combining various forms of theatrical styles, philosophies, and methodologies. I wish to extend my directorial practice by investigating strategies to emphasis and highlight what I see as the underlying focus of Fat Pig; society’s discriminating behaviour to those who sit outside mainstream ideas of physical beauty

Abstract:
The aim of the first two experiments was to determine whether alterations in dietary carbohydrate (CHO) intake would affect performance of high intensity exercise in well-trained individuals. This was achieved by comparing the effects of a 70 and 40% CHO diet on the performance of high intensity exercise lasting approximately 10 min (Experiment 1) or 30 min (Experiment 2). At both exercise intensities, no difference in exercise performance was found. These results demonstrated that moderate changes in diet composition during normal training do not significantly affect performance of high intensity exercise in well-trained individuals. These findings would suggest that total muscle glycogen concentration was not limiting high intensity exercise performance. The higher than normal daily energy intake of the subjects' diet may have adequately compensated for the reduced percentage of CHO on the two low CHO diets. An increased fat oxidation on the low CHO trial may also have contributed to these results. These results do not exclude the possibility that the glycogen content of individual muscle fibres was limiting high intensity exercise performance. The aim of the third experiment was to determine the effects of an exercise and diet regime, which was intended to alter initial muscle glycogen concentration, on the capacity of well-trained individuals to perform prolonged strenuous exercise to exhaustion in the heat and the cold. Exercise capacity in the heat was reduced compared with exercise in the cold, irrespective of diet. The exercise and diet intervention, when aimed at increasing muscle CHO stores, improved exercise capacity both in the heat and in the cold compared with when the intervention was aimed to reducing CHO stores.

Abstract:
Cereals have traditionally been used in the pig industry as the main source of energy in pig diets. However, due to variable composition, differences in nutritive value between cereal types and the availability and price of cereals, alternative sources of energy have been considered, for example, the addition of fat. The use of fat as an energy source for pigs has been shown to increase digestibility of nutrients (Asplund et al., 1960; Berschauer, 1984; Jones et al., 1992; Lewis and Southern, 2001) and (or) improve growth rate (Myer and Combs, 1991; Bauden et al., 2003; Campbell, 2005; Philpotts et al., 2008; Collins et al., 2009a), however, studies on the effects of adding fat to swine diets have yielded variable results. Nevertheless, some recent information (Campbell, 2005; Philpotts et al., 2008; Collins et al., 2009a) has shown that added fat can be of benefit to growing/finishing pigs under commercial situations where there are often a number of constraints, such as increased stocking density and decreased feeder access (Campbell, 2005), that might create conditions where added fats in diets is beneficial because of its higher energy concentration. A review by Pettigrew and Moser (1991) concluded that there was a consistent improvement in growth rate and reduction in feed intake and improvement in feed:gain when fat is added to the diet of growing/finishing pigs. In addition to the level of fat per se in the diet influencing production and digestibility, the type of fat (i.e., saturated versus unsaturated fat), and the ratio of fat types are also likely to influence any responses (Mu, 2007). Differences in the fatty acids composition and the ratio of unsaturated:saturated fatty acids (UFA:SFA) in the fat source are also likely to cause variations in production and digestibility (Stahly, 1984). To date and to my knowledge, comprehensive studies investigating these factors that link production measurements to estimates of digestibility have not been conducted. With this in mind, the overall aims of this thesis were as follows; 1. Determine whether the use of added fat, either as beef tallow (BT) or canola oil (CO), to increase the digestible energy (DE) content in diets above current recommendations would improve measures of production and an estimate of the cost of any production gain; 2. Determine the optimum feeding strategy for diets containing different types and levels of added fat in the growing/finishing period; 3. Determine the effects of fat type, either as BT or CO, the level of fat in the diet and the dietary UFA:SFA ratio acids on estimates of digestibility of selected nutrients and diet components when assessed at the ileum and in the faeces. The specific hypotheses examined in this thesis were as follows; 1. Supplementing grower/finisher diets with up to 8% added fat would improve feed conversion ratio (FCR) and growth performance without being detrimental to carcass quality (P2 backfat thickness); 2. Feeding supplemental fat only in the finisher period would enhance production and lower costs, as no supplemental fat would be necessary in the grower period. However, eliminating fat in the finisher period, if already present in a grower diet, would be detrimental to growth performance; 3. Pigs fed diets with added CO would have a higher digestibility (ileal and total tract) than pigs fed diets containing BT; 4. A higher UFA:SFA ratio would significantly improve nutrient digestibility; 5. Increasing dietary fat level would slow rate of passage.

Abstract:
Processes that regulate site of fat deposition in beef cattle are poorly understood. For the producer to procure the greatest profit, it is ideal to maximize intramuscular fat. Furthermore, to understand the physiological mechanisms affecting fat depots, it is necessary to evaluate hormones involved in growth regulation. Using a 2 x 2 factorial design of treatments, four experiments were conducted to examine two adipogenic compounds, chlortetracycline and dexamethasone. Synovex-S® and Revalor-S® were used to investigate potential interactions between growth implants and adipogenic compound. Growth performance, carcass quality, organ and fat mass and plasma hormone concentrations were measured in these studies. In Exp. 1, 24 steers received either 0 or 350mg chlortetracycline/d, with or without Synovex-S®. On d 30, 56 and 106, steers received a bolus injection of 1 ug/kg BW thyrotropin-releasing hormone and 0.1 ug/kg BW GH-releasing hormone and serial blood samples were collected. Synovex-S® increased (P ≤ 0.009) rate and efficiency of gain and decreased (P = 0.05) time to peak for GH concentrations. Chlortetracycline attenuated (P ≤ 0.05) the effects of implant on triiodothyronine release, slaughter weight and carcass quality. In Exp. 2, 96 steers received either 0 or 39.6 ppm chlortetracycline/d, with or without Revalor-S®. Implant increased (P < 0.0001) ADG; however, efficiency of gain was greater for implanted steers in the absence of chlortetracycline (interaction, P ≤ 0.03). In Exp. 3, 144 steers received either 0 or 0.09 mg dexamethasone/kg BW on d 0, 28 or 56, with or without Revalor-S®. Average daily gain was lower (P = 0.0003) for implanted steers receiving dexamethasone compared to those receiving no dexamethasone (interaction, P = 0.05). Omental fat mass was greater (P = 0.01) for non-implanted steers receiving dexamethasone compared to no dexamethasone (interaction, P = 0.006). In Exp. 4, 96 steers received either 0 or 0.09 mg dexamethasone/kg BW on d 0, 28, 56 or 84, with or without Revalor-S®. Average daily gain and efficiency of gain were both 13% greater (P ≤ 0.05) with implant. Conversely, DEX lowered ADG by 10% (P = 0.007). There were no effects of treatment on fat mass weights.

Full text
Abstract:
In broilers, the immediate post-hatch handling period exposes chicks to cold or hot thermal stress, with potentially harmful consequences to product quantity and quality that could threaten poultry meat marketability as a healthy, low-fat food. This lower performance includes adverse effects on muscle growth and damage to muscle structure (e.g., less protein and more fat deposition). A leading candidate for mediating the effects of thermal stress on muscle growth and development is a unique group of skeletal muscle cells known as adult myoblasts (satellite cells). Satellite cells are multipotential stem cells that can be stimulated to follow other developmental pathways, especially adipogenesis in lieu of muscle formation. They are most active during the first week of age in broilers and have been shown to be sensitive to environmental conditions and nutritional status. The hypothesis of the present study was that immediate post-hatch thermal stress would harm broiler growth and performance. In particular, growth characteristics and gene expression of muscle progenitor cells (i.e., satellite cells) will be affected, leading to increased fat deposition, resulting in long-term changes in muscle structure and a reduction in meat yield. The in vitro studies on cultured satellite cells derived from different muscle, have demonstrated that, anaerobic pectoralis major satellite cells are more predisposed to adipogenic conversion and more sensitive during myogenic proliferation and differentiation than aerobic biceps femoris cells when challenged to both hot and cold thermal stress. These results corroborated the in vivo studies, establishing that chronic heat exposure of broiler chicks at their first two week of life leads to impaired myogenicity of the satellite cells, and increased fat deposition in the muscle. Moreover, chronic exposure of chicks to inaccurate temperature, in particular to heat vs. cold, during their early posthatch periods has long-term effects of BW, absolute muscle growth and muscle morphology and meat quality. The latter is manifested by higher lipid and collagen deposition and may lead to the white striping occurrence. The results of this study emphasize the high sensitivity of muscle progenitor cells in the early posthatch period at a time when they are highly active and therefore the importance of rearing broiler chicks under accurate ambient temperatures. From an agricultural point of view, this research clearly demonstrates the immediate and long-term adverse effects on broiler muscling and fat formation due to chronic exposure to hot stress vs. cold temperatures at early age posthatch. These findings will aid in developing management strategies to improve broiler performance in Israel and the USA. BARD Report - Project4592 Page 2 of 29

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives of the project: To evaluate the effects of a glucogenic supplement during the peripartum transition period on insulin, hepatic triglyceride accumulation, interval to first ovulation, and progesterone profile in dairy cows. To compare benefits of supplemental fats differing in fatty acid composition and fed prepartum on hepatic triglyceride accumulation, interval to first ovulation, progesterone profile, and uterine prostaglandin production in lactating dairy cows. To assess the differential and carry-over effects of glucogenic and fat supplements fed to peripartum dairy cows on steroidogenesis and fatty acids in ovarian follicles. To determine the carry-over effects of peripartum glucogenic or fat supplements on fertility in high producing dairy cows (modified in year 3 to Israel only). Added during year 3 of project: To assess the activity of genes related to hepatic lipid oxidation and gluconeogenesis following dietary supplementation (USA only). Background: High milk yields in dairy cattle are generally associated with poor reproductive performance. Low fertility results from negative energy balance (NEBAL) of early lactation that delays resumption of ovarian cycles and exerts other carryover effects. During NEBAL, ovulation of ovarian follicles is compromised by low availability of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), but fatty acid mobilization from body stores is augmented. Liver function during NEBAL is linked to the resumption of ovulation and fertility: 1) Accumulation of fatty acids by the liver and ketone production are associated with delayed first ovulation; 2) The liver is the main source of IGF-I. NEBAL will continue as a consequence of high milk yield, but dietary supplements are currently available to circumvent the effects on liver function. For this project, supplementation was begun prepartum prior to NEBAL in an effort to reduce detrimental effects on liver and ovarian function. Fats either high or low in unsaturated fatty acids were compared for their ability to reduce liver triglyceride accumulation. Secondarily, feeding specific fats during a period of high lipid turnover caused by NEBAL provides a novel approach for manipulating phospholipid pools in tissues including ovary and uterus. Increased insulin from propylene glycol (glucogenic) was anticipated to reduce lipolysis and increase IGF-I. The same supplements were utilized in both the USA and Israel, to compare effects across different diets and environments. Conclusions: High milk production and very good postpartum health was achieved by dietary supplementation. Peripartum PGLY supplementation had no significant effects on reproductive variables. Prepartum fat supplementation either did not improve metabolic profile and ovarian and uterine responses in early lactation (USA) or decreased intake when added to dry cow diets (Israel). Steroid production in ovarian follicles was greater in lactating dairy cows receiving supplemental fat (unsaturated), although in a field trail fertility to insemination was not improved.

Ultrasonic Body Condition Measurements for Computerized Dairy Management Systems. United States Department of Agriculture, 1993. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/1993.7568109.bard.

Abstract:
The body condition (BC) score is recognized in the dairy industry as an essential tool for managing the energy reserves of the dairy cow, which is essential for sustaining optimal and efficient production over several lactations. The current use of BC scoring depends on the accuracy of subjective visual estimates, and this limits its kusefulness as a management aid in the dairy industry. A measuring tool that would frequently provide objective data on the cow's body reserves would be a major contribution to efficient dairy herd management. Ultrasonic sensors have the potential to be developed into an efficient BC measuring device, and the experimental use of such sensors for subcutaneous fat thickness (SDFT) estimates, as an indication for BC in beef cattle, supports this assumption. The purposes of this project were: 1. To compare visual BC scoring and ultrasonic fat thickness with on-line automated body weight (BW) measurements as monitors of nutritional adequacy of dairy cows at various stages of lactation. 2. To determine the effects of variation in digestive fill in early and late lactation on the accuracy of body weight measurements in lactating cows. 3. To modify an existing ultrasonic system and develop a specialized, low-cost sensor for repeatable determination of body condition scores by users with minimal training and skill. 4. To develop a standard for the assignment of body condition scores based on ultrasonic measurements of subdermal fat thickness. The procedure to execute these objectives involved: 1. Frequent measurement of BW, milk yield (MY), BC (visually scored) and subdermal fat thickness ultrasonically measured of dairy cows, and data analysis on average and individual basis. 2. Testing and selection of an appropriate special-purpose sensor, finding an optimum body location for working an ultrasonic measurement, prcessing the signals obtained, and correlating the resulting measurements with performance responses in lactating cows. Linking the ultrasonic signals to BC scores, and developing a BC scoring data acquisition system are the first steps towards fulfilling the necessary requirements for incorporating this device into an existing dairy herd management system, in order to provide the industry with a powerful managment tool. From the results obtained we could conclude that: 1. BC does not correlate with BW changes during all stages of lactation, although in general terms it does. These results were confirmed by individual cow BW and BC data obtained during the course of lactation, that were supported by individual objective ultrasonic measurement of SDFT. 2. BW changes reflect energy metabolism reliably ony after peak milk yield; early in lactation, a decrease in BW expresses mobilization of body reserves only qualitatively, and not quantitatively. 3. Gastrointestinal content increases throughout the whole period during which dry matter intake (DMI) increases. The drastic increase very early in lactation prevents the use of BW changes as a basis for quantitative estimatio of energy meatabolism; at this stage of lactation, konly a BC score or any other direct measurements willl provide a quantitative estimate of energy metabolism. 4. Ultrasonic measurements of subdermal fat thickness can be used to quantify changes that correlate with the actual condition of the cow, as assessed by performance and the traditional way of scoring. 5. To find the best site on the cow's body at which to obtain responses to BC and its changes in the course of lactation, additional sites have to be examined. From the present study, it seems that the sites between ribs 12 and 13 have the potential for this purpose. 6. The use of templates made it easier to repeat measurements at a desired site and spot. However, the convenient easy-to-handle way to standardize the measurement, described in this study, koffers scope for improvement. 7. The RF peak values of the A-mode are better indicators of the location of fat layer borders than image analysis, from the point of view of future commercial development. 8. The distances between the RF peaks of the A-mode can be automatically measured by suitable software, for future commercial development. 9. Proper analysis of daily body weight and milk yield data can provide the necessary information on body condition changes during lactation, until a direct BC measurement device is developed. 10. In any case, at least one visual BC assessment has to be done, preferably immediately after calving, for calibration purposes.
