Mammary glands of eight nonpregnant, nulliparous Holstein heifers (416 ± 11 d) were used to study the potential for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging and proton spectroscopy as a technique to assess mammary gland composition. It was concluded that the NMR technique has the potential to quantitate mammary gland composition in heifers. Key words: Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy, mammary composition, Holstein heifers
