1 Beginner s Guide to Body Condition Scoring A Tool for Dairy Herd Management Web Presentation Updated July, 2004

2 Using body condition scoring to fine tune herd nutrition and health management has become a widely accepted practice. This presentation is designed to Introduce you to body condition scoring Provide examples of cows scored 1 to 5

3 Evaluating Body Condition vs. Type Type evaluation (classification, judging) compares animals to the ideal conformation Body condition scoring considers the relative fatness or thinness of animals

4 Goals of Body Condition Scoring Early detection of potential health problems Identify areas for improved feeding management Improve herd health, production, reproduction, profitability

5 Body Condition Scoring Visual and tactile evaluation of body fat reserves Indication of energy balance Scale of 1 to 5, increments of 0.25 Body Condition Score = BCS BCS 1 = emaciated cow (too thin) BCS 3 = average body condition BCS 5 = excessively fat cow

6 Areas to Evaluate Rump / Pelvic Area Tailhead Hooks Pins Thurl Loin Short ribs Spine

7 Side View Rear View Pins Thurl Hooks Hooks Short Ribs Sacral Ligament Thurl Tailhead Ligament Pins

8 (Spinous Process) (Short Ribs) If an animal is grossly fat, the bone structure cannot be seen or felt through the fat. In thin animals, the bone structures are very prominent.

9 Step-by-Step Process See Learn to Score Body Condition presentation on the dairy nutrition website Not a perfect science Scores should be similar (± 0.25) When measured on one animal or When measured by different people Separates average condition from extremes

10 Extremely Fat Extremely Thin

11 Examples of Scores Presented to help you see the major differences for a more detailed system of scoring, see Learn to Score Body Condition

12 BCS 1: Severely Under-conditioned Side view Bones of tailhead easy to see Prominent backbone Tips of short ribs are clearly visible Hooks, thurl, and pins very prominent Photo Not Available

13 BCS 1 Rear view Photo Not Available All boney prominences easily visible Hooks, pins, spine, & ribs very sharp Deep cavities around tailhead Thin legs, poor muscle condition

14 BCS 2: Severe Negative Energy Balance Tailhead prominent, limited skin cover Prominent backbone Limited skin cover on short ribs. From tip to spine, short ribs are visible ¾ of the distance Angular hooks and pins with prominent thurl

15 BCS 2 Hooks, pins, & thurl prominent Tailhead area somewhat hollow, but has modest covering of flesh

16 BCS 2.75: Slightly Thin Visible backbone Tip of short ribs smooth, but visible Hooks angular, but pins padded by fat V-angle formed between hooks, thurl, and pins

17 BCS 2.75 Hooks angular, but pins more rounded or padded with fat Hollow below tailhead compared to a BCS 3

18 BCS 3: Good Condition More flesh covering backbone Tip of short ribs smooth Hooks and pins rounded and smooth V-angle formed between hooks, thurl, and pins

19 BCS 3 Hooks and pins rounded No deep depressions or fat deposits around tailhead

20 BCS 3.25: Slightly Fleshy More flesh covering backbone Tip of short ribs very smooth Hooks and pins more rounded and smooth U-angle formed between hooks, thurl, and pins

21 BCS 3.25 Rounded hooks & pins Sacral and tailhead ligaments visible

22 BCS 4: Over-conditioned Backbone barely visible Short ribs very smooth, tips barely visible Hooks and pins very smooth, but visible Flat between hooks and pins

23 BCS 4 Hooks & pins rounded, but visible Rump and thurl flat Sacral and tailhead ligaments not visible

24 BCS 5: Severely Over-conditioned Backbone not visible Short ribs flat, bones not visible Hooks and pins not visible Flat over rump and tailhead

25 BCS 5 All boney prominences rounded and covered in fat Tailhead buried in fat Fat deposits readily seen on rump and legs

26 Summary The body condition scoring scale Under-conditioned cows = BCS 1 Over-conditioned cows = BCS 5 Determining a cow's BCS Look at pelvic area and loin Fat deposits become evident cow is over conditioned Bone structures become prominent cow is thin
