Predicting Ewe Body Condition Score Using Lifetime Liveweight and Liveweight Change, and Previous Body Condition Score Record [PDF]
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

Relationships between body condition score, body weight and body measurements in alpacas
Irish Veterinary JournalBackground The nutritional status in alpacas is often masked by their dense fibre coat. Its assessment is commonly approached by different body condition scores (BCS) that rely on manual palpation of defined anatomical regions.

Four-Body Scoring Function for Mutagenesis [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2007 AbstractMotivation: There is a need for an efficient and accurate computational method to identify the effects of single- and multiple-residue mutations on the stability and reactivity of proteins. Such a method should ideally be consistent and yet applicable in a widespread manner, i.e. it should be applied to various proteins under the same parameter

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.

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.
