Adequate nutrition is critical for successful reproductive
function. Inadequate dietary energy intake
and poor body condition can negatively affect reproductive
function. Supplemental lipids have been used
to increase the energy density of the diet and avoid
negative associative effects (Coppock and Wilks, 1991)
sometimes experienced with cereal grains (Bowman
and Sanson, 1996) in high-roughage diets. Supplemental
lipids may also have direct positive effects on
reproduction in beef cattle independent of the energy
contribution. Lipid supplementation has been shown
to positively affect reproductive function at several
important tissues, including the hypothalamus, anterior
pituitary, ovary, and uterus. The target tissue and
reproductive response seems to be dependent upon the
types of fatty acids contained in the fat source.
