Abstract
The association among feeding, body fat reserves, plasma leptin concentration and intake has been indicated in many reports, however the characteristics of these associations in late pregnant ruminants is not yet completely clear. As part of a larger experiment concerned with nutrition during the dry period (DP), a study was undertaken to identify the relationship between precalving fat and protein supplementation with plasma leptin concentration and the association of leptin with fat reserves and dry matter intake (DMI) during the periparturient period. Further results associated with this experiment were reported elsewhere (Jaurenaet al., 2001a.,b; Jaurenaet al., 2003).
