Invited review: pathology, etiology, prevention, and treatment of fatty liver in dairy cows. (2004, background): “Obese cows have a greater decrease in feed intake in such situations and, therefore, have a more severe negative energy balance (Stockdale, 2001).”
Consequences of genetic selection for increased milk production in European seasonal pasture based systems of milk production (2006, background): “Successfully manipulating body condition score (BCS) is acknowledged by most animal scientists as an important management factor influencing milk production, animal health, and reproduction in the modern dairy cow (Domecq et al., 1997; Stockdale, 2001; Buckley et al., 2003).”
Invited review: Body condition score and its association with dairy cow productivity, health, and welfare. (2009, background): “By comparison, in a recent review, Stockdale (2001) reported an increase in milk yield and fat content from thin to moderate BCS at calving.”
