Concerns about subjectivity and the time required for scoring have limited the use of BCS in daily management. An automated BCS might provide a more objective, less time-consuming means of estimating energy reserves in dairy cattle. 展开
The Bovine Body Condition Scoring App was developed at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine. This app assists the user in tallying body condition scores of cattle. The app provides the user with a graphical interface to body conditon score cattle. Data stored may include he...

3.2 Body condition scoring A direct relationship between the body condition scores and growth performance was observed, as illustrated in Table 3. Inclusion levels of FSF in rams’ diets significantly affected the rams’ body condition score (P < 0.05). Rams with FSF-supplemented feeds had higher...
Commonly, body condition, a ratio of adipose tissue to other components of the body, is either semiquantitatively assessed by visual scoring (BCS) or quantitatively assessed by ultrasonographic measurement of backfat thickness (Schröder and Staufenbiel, 2006; Roche et al., 2009, 2013). The dis...
A small range of scoring grades contained the majority of the distribution of lame cows in each of the five FL traits. Furthermore, there was no consistent and regular relationship between the five FL traits and the incidence of lameness. Table 2 Incidence of clinical mastitis and lameness in...

The transition period in dairy cattle is characterized by a rapid increase in metabolic demands due to the onset of lactation in parallel with a voluntary drop in dry matter intake, which slowly increases compared with the rapidly increasing milk production. The resulting deficit in energy intake ...
