Although the benefits of body condition scoring (BCS) may be intuitive to most dairy industry professionals; relatively few dairy farms have incorporated it as part of their routine management strategy. The lack of adoption of this technique is largely attributable to subjectivity and time requirements. An automated BCS system would be less demanding of time by trained personnel, less stressful to cattle, more objective and consistent, and possibly more cost effective. The technical feasibility of utilizing digital images, with a proprietary technique developed by IceRobotics Ltd. (Roslin, Scotland, UK), to determine BCS was assessed for lactating dairy cows. Up to 23 anatomical points were manually identified on dorsal images (N = 3332) ca...
