Study the relationship of body condition scores with production performance in Kankrej cattle

Abstract

The present investigation was carried out with the total of 18 Kankrej cattle of 1st to 4th parity and distributed into three disparate groups, on the basis of their pre calving BCS (before 15 days of expected date of calving), namely G1(2.50 - 3.00), G2 (3.25 - 3.75) and G3 (4.00 and above) with six animals in every group.
