Implications of Cow Body Condition Score on Productivity
EDIS, 2015 Body condition score (BCS) indicates how much fat a cow has on its body, which is an important factor in cow health and reproductive capacity. Growers can use BCS to understand and manage the health of a herd and maintain a profitable operation.

Brief research report: Fertility, teat, and body condition of foster cows in a cow–calf contact system [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceOne alternative to early cow–calf separation is continuous foster cow-calf contact, where one cow nurses two to four calves without being milked. However, multiple sucklings may compromise teat and body condition and affect fertility.

Objective estimation of body condition score by modeling cow body shape from digital images [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2011 Body condition score (BCS) is considered an important tool for management of dairy cattle. The feasibility of estimating the BCS from digital images has been demonstrated in recent work. Regression machines have been successfully employed for automatic BCS estimation, taking into account information of the overall shape or information extracted on ...

How to Measure Body Condition Score in Florida Beef Cattle
EDIS, 2018 Body condition score (BCS) is both a good indicator of the past nutritional status of a cow and a way to determine future nutritional needs. The BCS technique is easy to learn and can help with management decisions.

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.

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

Genetics of Body Condition Score in New Zealand Dairy Cows [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2006 Body condition score (BCS) data were collected on 169,661 first-parity cows from herds participating in progeny testing schemes and linear type assessment. Genetic and residual variances for BCS estimated across time using a quadratic random regression model were found to be largest at the start of lactation.
