Condition Scoring
Definition: Condition Scoring
Condition Scoring: Condition scoring noun a method of assessing the state of body condition of animals; scores range from 05 for cattle and 19 for sows. Low condition scores indicate thinness, and high scores fatness. A score of about 3 is ideal. Condition scoring is the ideal on-farm method of assessing cow body reserves as it requires no specialist equipment or weighing facilities and once you get a grasp of the points system it is relatively quick to do. [Dairy Farmer]. Using condition scoring helps monitor and manage livestock health and nutrition.
