Body condition score(BCS)is an important management tool in the modern dairy industry,and one of the basic techniques for animal welfare and precision dairy farming.The objective of this study was to use a vision system to evaluate the fat cover on the back of cows and to automatically ...
Effect of body condition score on performance traits in crossbred dairy cowsSixty crossbred cows from three different genetic groups (1/2 Holstein Friesian (F) × 1/2 Hariana (H), 1/2F x1/4 Brown Swiss × 1/4 H), (1/2Fx1/4 Jersey × 1/4 H) were randomly selected to study body...
2009. Effect of body condition score on performance traits in crossbred dairy cows. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 36: 283–286. Sixty crossbred cows from three different genetic groups (1/2 Holstein Friesian (F) × 1/2 Hariana (H), 1/2F x1/4 Brown Swiss × 1/4 H), (1/2Fx1/4 Jersey...
Bivariate (BV) analysis of Body condition score (BCS) jointly with milk yield was investigated as a method for BCS genetic evaluation and compared to univariate (UV) analysis of BCS records, adjusted or unadjusted for milk yield (n = 38 930). Additionally, milk yield was analysed with and ...
Body condition scores (BCS) is an important parameter, which is in high correlation with the health status of a dairy cow, metabolic disorder and milk composition during the production period. To evaluate BCS, the traditional methods rely on veterinary experts or skilled staff to look at a cow...
