Increasing milk production per cow over the last decades has led to a more intense negative energy balance and extended the duration of body fat mobilization. Management of body condition requires that body condition scores be evaluated on a visual basis. A more objective approach is the measurement of the backfat thickness (BFT) using an ultrasoun...

... In present study, the ultrasound operator moves the probe in a parallel fashion at the measuring line to determine the final measurement position when the profound fascia was aligned in the image, thus ensuring that backfat thickness can be consistent around certain points. In addition, increasing the dose of vegetable-oil couplant clearly revealed each tissue stratification (Sakamoto et al., 2014;Weber et al., 2014). Nevertheless, the maximum difference in BFT measured for the same cow in this experiment was 4.4 mm, which approximately equal to 0.26 units of BCS values ranging from 13.7 to 18.1 mm. ...
