Twenty-five crossbred Holstein-Zebu cows was used to evaluate the effect of body condition score at calving on milk yield and composition and evaluate the body reserves mobilization by variation of body condition score during the first 120 days of lactation. The cows were allocated in two classes according to the body condition score at calving (BCSC), using a scale from 1 (very thin) to 5 (very fat): class 1, cows with of BCSC > 3.25; and class 2, cows with […]
