The overall score was most closely related to the condition scores of the pelvic and tailhead areas of the cow. Both location specific scores within cows and the overall body score for a cow were strongly correlated, demonstrating that the chart was internally consistent. The chart is an ...
Cows in good body condition a.p. had greater risks of metabolic problems because of excessive mobilization of body reserves. However, the metabolic status was best in cows with a BCS >3.25 a.p., if they did not lose much body condition p.p.A. Busato...

The effect of body condition score on other performance traits was found to be non- significant. It is concluded that high producing cows mobilize greater amount of body condition score than the low producing cows in early lactation.Rana r Singh...
The examination period started 14 days before the expected calving date and ended either when a cow was inseminated or at a maximum of 90 days pp. Body condition score (BCS; 1–5 scale) and backfat thickness (BFT) were determined every 2 weeks. Blood for analysis of NEFA and P4 ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of hip height and width, body condition score, and relevant demographic information to predict body weight (BW) of dairy cows. Seven regression models were developed from data from 972 observations of 554 cows. Parity, hip height, hip width...
