Body condition scoreOvulationPostpartum fertilityPregnancyNelore cowsVisual evaluation of body condition score (BCS) is an important method for the subjective quantification of body energy reserves in cattle. The objective of this study was to develop an index to estimate the relationship between BCS ...
Body Condition ScoreReproducibilityRepeatabilityNinety-eight Hereford 脳 Angus beef cows were used to determine reproducibility (the correlation between an animal's score by one technician and its score by a different technician), repeatability (the correlation between an animal's score on one occasion ...
The objective of study was to evaluate of carcass production of PO beef cattle based on measurement of heart girth, body condition score (BCS), and slaughter weight. It was conducted in the slaughtering house at Mersi Purwokerto city. The materials for this study were 60 heads of male PO ...
Spring calving beef cows from two genotypes were used in two different trials to examine the effectiveness of visual scoring systems to predict body condition. In trial 1, data on body condition score and ultrasound backfat measurements were collected at three different stages of the production cycl...

The differences in body weight (BW) and measurements between the cows of today and the early 70s was evaluated and the usefulness of heart girth (HG), wither height, body length (BL) and body condition score (BCS) as predictors of the BW of modern Finnish Ayrshire cows was estimated. ...

Montbéliarde (MO)-sired crossbred cows (n = 57) were compared with pure Holstein (HO) cows (n = 40) for dry matter intake (DMI), production, hip height, body condition score (BCS), and body weight (BW) during the first 150 d of first lactation. Also, production for 305 d was ...
