Body Condition Score (BCS)
Assessment of a cow's body condition score gives a visual estimate of her body fat reserves.
Condition scoring information contributes to key decisions, such as:
- Determining future feed requirements (and feedback on historical strategy)
- Determining which cows to dry-off and when
- Explaining reproductive performance (condition at mating or BCS lost post-calving)
