Prediction of the relationship between body weight and body condition score in sheep
Italian Journal of Animal Science, 2011 During the whole production cycle it is important to monitor the energy balance and to quantify body reserve changes of the ewes. This can be done, both in experimental settings and in the field, by estimating the body condition score (BCS) of the ewes ...

A simple method to evaluate body condition score to maintain the optimal body weight in dogs
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, 2019 Overweight and obesity induce serious health problems that exert negative effects on dog’s welfare. Body condition score (BCS) is a common method to evaluate the body fat mass in animals.

Relationships Among International Body Condition Scoring Systems [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2004 Scoring body condition and assessing changes in the body condition of dairy cattle have become strategic tools in both farm management and research. Consequently, body condition score (BCS) is being researched extensively throughout the world. However, international sharing, comparing, and use of data generated are limited because different BCS systems

Establishment of the body condition score for adult female Xenopus laevis
PLoS ONE, 2023 The assessment of animals’ health and nutritional status using a Body Condition Score (BCS) has become a common and reliable tool in lab-animal science. It enables a simple, semi-objective, and non-invasive assessment (palpation of osteal prominences and

Body Measurements and Body Condition Scoring in Bactrian Camels
AnimalsBody measurements were used regularly to describe phenotypes or the weight of the animal. However, few data described the age effect on the different measurements. In the present paper, 477 Bactrian camels (7-180 months old) were measured, and their growth was modelized by using Beta-Growth equation.

Genetic evaluation of fertility using direct and correlated traits [PDF]
, 2003 Poor fertility has become a major reason for involuntary culling of dairy cows in the United Kingdom. Calving interval (CI) and body condition score (BCS) are recorded, heritable, genetically correlated with each other, and could be used to extend the ...
