Body Condition Score (BCS) is not always top of mind in cattle management… but it can provide valuable insights into herd health and nutrition.

This simple and practical tool that helps assess an animal’s nutritional status through visual and tactile evaluation, without the need for complex equipment.

BCS is closely linked to fertility, milk production, health, welfare, and overall herd efficiency. However, in many systems, it remains underused.

By monitoring changes in body condition, farmers and veterinarians can make more informed decisions and better adapt nutrition across different production stages.

In our latest blog article, Ana Sofia Santos (Head of Research and Innovation at FeedInov CoLAB) explains how mastering BCS can support better herd management, welfare, and profitability.
