A new app designed in New Zealand aims to help sheep, beef and deer farmers capture, analyse and use body condition score data more effectively. “Body condition scoring has been part of good livestock management for decades, but the weakest link has often been capturing the information in a way that’s still useful weeks or months later,” says Smith. “Farmers already understand the value of body condition scoring. “Our goal isn’t simply to digitise body condition scoring. The app also provides direct access to industry-recognised body condition scoring guidance, supporting more consistent scoring across farms and making it easier for users to refresh their knowledge whenever required.
