Estimation of body condition score change in dairy cows in a seasonal calving pasture-based system using routinely available milk mid-infrared spectra and machine learning techniques
ABSTRACT: Body condition score (BCS) is a subjective estimate of body reserves in cows. Body condition score and its change in early lactation have been associated with cow fertility and health. The aim of the present study was to estimate change in BCS (ΔBCS) using mid-infrared spectra of the milk,...
