This project sets out to expand the use of easily attainable milk spectral results to provide a risk status of ketosis likelihood at an individual cow level. There is significant potential for this new tool to increase the efficiency of GB milk production by reducing costly body weight changes, improving health and fertility, and ensuring more targeted use of energy resources on farm.Being able to provide a ketosis indicator that's hassle free, low-cost and non-invasive on a regular basis using a controlled system such as milk recording, will offer greater opportunities for the 5,000 dairy herds recorded by NMR to partake in ketosis monitoring. Currently, time constraints and the complexity of data required to generate meaningful measures are a barrier for participation. NMR, along with SRUC and EBVC seek to overcome these via this project.

该项目旨在扩大易于获得的牛奶光谱结果的使用，以提供个体奶牛水平上酮病可能性的风险状态。通过减少昂贵的体重变化，改善健康和生育能力，并确保更有针对性地使用农场的能源资源，这种新工具在提高GB牛奶生产效率方面具有巨大的潜力。能够使用牛奶记录等受控系统定期提供无麻烦，低成本和非侵入性的酮症指标，将为5，000个奶牛群通过NMR记录参与酮病监测。目前，时间限制和产生有意义的衡量标准所需数据的复杂性是参与的障碍。核磁共振，沿着与SRUC和EBVC试图通过这个项目克服这些问题。
