Animals, 2020 The body condition score (BCS) in sheep (Ovis aries) is a widely used subjective measure of body condition. Body condition score and liveweight have been reported to be statistically and often linearly related in ewes. Therefore, it was hypothesized that

Immune phenotype and body condition in roe deer: individuals with high body condition have different, not stronger immunity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 An efficient immunity is necessary for host survival, but entails energetic costs. When energy is limited, immunocompetence and body condition should co-vary positively among individuals and, depending on body condition, individuals should allocate more ...

The Impacts of Drought on the Health and Demography of Eastern Grey Kangaroos
Animals, 2022 Extreme climatic events such as droughts and floods are expected to become more intense and severe under climate change, especially in the southern and eastern parts of Australia. We aimed to quantify the relationship between body condition scores (BCS),

A Body Condition Score for Crocodilians [PDF]
South American Journal of Herpetology, 2020 Body condition (BC) has been used extensively to evaluate fitness in animals. In traditional studies of crocodiles, the paradigm of evaluating BC with the Fulton index and interpreting the results with quartiles is predominant. However, the wide variety of indices available provides a diversity of tools with which BC can be interpreted in multiple ways.

Genetic Relationship of Body Energy and Blood Metabolites with Reproduction in Holstein Cows [PDF]
, 2008 Body condition score (BCS), energy content (EC), cumulative effective energy balance (CEEB), and blood serum concentrations of glucose, beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), and nonesterified fatty acids ( NEFA) were measured throughout first lactation in 497 ...

Body Temperature as a Conditional Response Measure for Pavlovian Fear Conditioning [PDF]
Learning & Memory, 2000 On six days rats were exposed to each of two contexts. They received an electric shock in one context and nothing in the other. Rats were tested later in each environment without shock. The rats froze and defecated more often in the shock-paired environment; they also exhibited a significantly larger elevation in rectal temperature in that environment.
