Abstract
Present day sows, particularly young sows, have smaller fat reserves than they did 10 to 20 years ago (Whittemore, Franklin and Pearce, 1980). Consequently, changes in the sows' body reserves during pregnancy and lactation have become much more critical in evaluating various nutritional strategies. The interpretation of many experiments designed ot investigate the effects of nutrition of the sow would be enhanced if changes in the body composition of the animal could be determined.
