Comparison of two methods of assessing dairy cow body condition score
Journal of Dairy Research, 2009Two body condition scoring systems were compared for assessing body condition of cows at the Scottish Agricultural College's Crichton Royal Farm. The weekly body condition scores (BCS) were collected for a period of 12 weeks (5 September–21 November). Scores were obtained using the primary systems utilized within the UK and USA. The USBCS were obtained

Automatic evaluation of Cow's body-condition-score using 3D camera
2017 IEEE 6th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE), 2017Body Condition Scoring (BCS) is a method of evaluating fatness or thinness in cows, and it is important to manage productivity of the cows. However, it is not easy to measure BCS by observing animals because it consumes much time and costs, especially in the large-scale farming. Therefore, almost farmers are not conducting regular evaluation of BCS. In

Body Condition Scoring in Dairy Cows - A Conceptual and Systematic Review
Indian Journal of Animal Research, 2020As herd sizes have increased in the last decades due to commercialization of dairy sector, computer monitoring solutions, which provide fast and accurate evaluation of body condition score, gain more and more importance. The main reasons that discourage the use of traditional BCS estimation techniques are the lack of computerized reports, its ...

Journal of Veterinary Medicine Series A, 2002
SummaryRelationships between body condition scores (BCS), metabolic profiles and endocrine traits were investigated in 53 healthy Red Holstein cows. Cows were categorized into groups based on BCS ante‐partum (a.p.; >3.25 or ≤ 3.25) and on BCS losses during the first 8 weeks after calving (ΔBCS8 >0.75 or ≤ 0.75).

Assessing and Managing Body Condition Score for the Prevention of Metabolic Disease in Dairy Cows
Veterinary Clinics of North America: Food Animal Practice, 2013Body condition score (BCS) is an assessment of a cow's body fat (and muscle) reserves, with low values reflecting emaciation and high values equating to obesity. The intercalving profile of BCS is a mirror image of the milk lactation profile. The BCS at which a cow calves, her nadir BCS, and the amount of BCS lost after calving are associated with milk

Body condition score and reproductive performance in dairy cows in Greece
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 2007Various studies in dairy cows have shown that their Body Condition Score (BCS) effectively reflects their nutritional status and energy content (Ferguson et al. 1994). Extremes in BCS and BCS losses have been identified as a risk factor for health problems and reduced reproductive efficiency (Markusfeld et al. 1997, Lopez-Gatius et al. 2003).

Cow Body Condition Score Estimation with Convolutional Neural Networks
2019 IEEE 4th International Conference on Image, Vision and Computing (ICIVC), 2019In this paper, we investigate cow body condition score estimation with convolutional neural networks and find that it is difficult for a convolutional neural network classifier to directly discriminate the categories that have very similar appearance in our dataset.
