Body Condition Scoring

 

Body scoring is very important in assessing the health status of an animal. A low score may indicate diseases or improper feeding while a high score may indicate a high probability of breeding and metabolic problems.

Dry cows and calving cows should have a body condition score of 3.5

 

Cattle with body score 5 and above have high probability of metabolic and breeding problems.
