Body Condition Scoring
Body Condition Scoring (BCS) is a semi-quantitative visual and palpation assessment method used to evaluate the nutritional status and adipose tissue reserves of livestock, particularly dairy cattle, beef cattle, and small ruminants. Developed systematically in the 1980s, BCS provides a practical, non-invasive tool for herd management, reproductive performance prediction, and feed efficiency optimization.
