Σύνοψη	Equine Gait Analysis is a systematic evaluation of a horse's movement patterns at walk, trot, and canter to detect lameness, asymmetry, and biomechanical dysfunction. Combining visual observation with increasingly sophisticated instrumental techniques (force plate analysis, kinematics, accelerometry), gait analysis is essential for diagnosing the causes of lameness, monitoring recovery from injury, and evaluating the safety and suitability of sport horses.	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.
