This fourth paper regards Index List 4 on nutritional disorders, body condition and ration composition. The information from this list is suitable to monitor nutritional efficiency and feeding management, especially when used in combination with information from the other index lists. Methods for interpretation and evaluation of the data listed are provided. Evaluations should take into account the aspects related to nutrition. It is demonstrated how deviations of index figures are detected and how advice to farm management is built up by means of actual information and prompt computerized analysis.
