Owner misperception of canine body condition persists despite use of a body condition score chart* [PDF]
Journal of Nutritional Science, 2014 Canine obesity is a prevalent disease, but many owners are unaware of it, partly due to misperception of their dog's body shape. Body condition scoring (BCS) is a simple method of assessing body composition, but whether it can reduce owner misperception ...

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.

Cow Body Shape and Automation of Condition Scoring [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2008 The feasibility of including a body shape measure in methods for automatic monitoring of body reserves of cattle was evaluated. The hypothesis tested was that the body shape of a fatter cow is rounder than that of a thin cow and, therefore, may better fit a parabolic shape.
