Brazilian owners perception of the body condition score of dogs and cats

BMC Veterinary Research, 2020
Background The knowledge of how owners view the body condition of their animals is an important factor for the success of the prevention/treatment of obesity and the engagement/adherence to nutritional interventions, which are fundamental to improve the ...

Prenatal maternal effects on body condition score, female fertility, and milk yield of dairy cows [PDF]

, 2007
In this study, maternal effects were described as age of dam at first and second calving, first-lactation body condition score (BCS) of the dam during gestation, and milk yield of the dam.

Influence of body condition score and ultrasound-determined thickness of body fat deposit in holstein-friesian cows on the risk of lameness developing [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017
The aim of this study was to examine the correlations between ultrasound measurement of thickness of fat over the tuber ischiadicum (TFT), body condition scoring (BCS) and the risk of lameness developing in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. The 100 cows were

Automatic monitoring system for individual dairy cows based on a deep learning framework that provides identification via body parts and estimation of body condition score.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2019
Body condition score (BCS) is a common tool for indirectly estimating the mobilization of energy reserves in the fat and muscle of cattle that meets the requirements of animal welfare and precision livestock farming for the effective monitoring of ...

Effects of body condition score and estrus phase on blood metabolites and steroid hormones in Saanen goats in the tropics

Veterinary World, 2020
Background and Aim: Body condition scores (BCSs) assessment can be a potential management tool for the improvement of animal performance. The study investigated whether blood metabolic (protein, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, and cholesterol) and steroid ...

Body Condition Scoring for Adult Zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]

Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, 2018
Body condition scoring (BCS) is a simple, rapid, noninvasive tool used to assess body condition in animals. In this study, we developed and validated a diagram-based BCS for adult zebrafish (Danio rerio), a popular research model. After receiving 20 min of hands-on training regarding the scoring system, 5 people each rated 95 adult zebrafish.

Validation of mid-infrared spectrometry in milk for predicting body energy status in Holstein-Friesian cows [PDF]

, 2012
Cow energy balance is known to be associated with cow health and fertility; therefore, routine access to data on energy balance can be useful in both management and breeding decisions to improve cow performance.

Estimating Body Condition Score in Dairy Cows From Depth Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks, Transfer Learning and Model Ensembling Techniques

Agronomy, 2019
BCS (Body Condition Score) is a method to estimate body fat reserves and accumulated energy balance of cows, placing estimations (or BCS values) in a scale of 1 to 5. Periodically rating BCS of dairy cows is very important since BCS values are associated
