Manage episode 380644675 series 3522891
In this episode of Anexa’s Podcast, In One Ear and Out the Udder, Emma chats with Hanneke Officer about the benefits of regularly body condition scoring (BCS) dairy cows. They compare mob scoring to individual cow condition scoring and discuss ways to use the extra information gained when every cow in the herd is condition scored, such as generating dry off lists based on each cow’s condition and predicted calving date. If you haven’t had your whole herd condition scored before, listening to this episode will explain how easy the process can be and why now is the perfect time to incorporate condition scoring to help with management decisions for your herd that will provide positive returns now and into future seasons.
