Influence of body conditions score on service period and incidence of clinical mastitis in crossbred cows

The service period was 94,90 and 82 days for cows with BCS ranges of 3.0-3.49, 3.5-3.99 and 4-0.-4.49, respectively and it was also observed that BCS had no significant effect on service period. However, overconditioned cows had a marginal decline in service period. The efforts are required for shor...

Summary:The service period was 94,90 and 82 days for cows with BCS ranges of 3.0-3.49, 3.5-3.99 and 4-0.-4.49, respectively and it was also observed that BCS had no significant effect on service period. However, overconditioned cows had a marginal decline in service period. The efforts are required for shortening of the service period to ideal. Cows with BCS of below 3.5 were more affected with clinical mastitis(23) than cows with BCS of above 3.5(1.15).
