Genetic relationships between calving interval and body condition score conditional on milk yield [PDF]
, 2002 Body condition score (BCS) is a useful tool in assessing the energy status of dairy cattle. Previous research has shown that it is heritable and genetically correlated to reproductive performance.

BEEF COWS BODY CONDITION SCORING AND ITS MEASUREMENTS RELATIONSHIP
Bulletin Samara State Agricultural Academy, 2020 The purpose of the study is improving the efficiency of breeding work in selection of cows by live weight, body measurements with mandatory consideration of animal condition score. The degree and nature of relationship be-tween live weight and body measurements of beef cows with condition score, regression coefficient were calculat-ed. The research was

Effect of Body Condition Score on Estrus-Ovulation Synchronization and Pregnancy in Cows and Heifers
Van Veterinary Journal, 2021 The most important factors affecting the success of artificial insemination are the balanced nutrition of the animals and the determination of estrus. Malnutrition causes a decrease in the Body Condition Score (BCS). Low BCS affects the deterioration of the metabolism of cows which has a primary influence on estrus and offspring productivity.

Comparison of Methods for Monitoring the Body Condition of Dairy Cows
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2018 Dairy cows are known to mobilize body fat to achieve their genetic potential for milk production, which can have a detrimental impact on the health, fertility and survival of the cow.

Supplementation of dairy cows with propylene glycol during the periparturient period: effects on body condition score, milk yield, first estrus post-partum, beta-hydroxybutyrate, non-esterified fatty acids and glucose concentrations [PDF]
Ciência Rural, 2004 The objective of this study was to analyse the effects of propylene glycol (PPG) supplementation to periparturient cows on: milk yield, changes in body condition score (BCS), days to first oestrus after calving, and on the beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA ...
