“…Singh et al [26] also reported that FCM were positively correlated with BCS at calving. Patel et al [27] reported that Murrah buffaloes with pre-calving BCS of 4.00 and above produced more total milk at 90days of lactation than buffaloes with pre-calving BCS of 3.25-3.75 and 2.50-3.00, though the difference was not significant. In contrast Delfino et al [28] reported no differences for milk yield between buffaloes with high BCS (more than 3.5) at calving and low BCS (less than 3.5) at calving.…”

The postpartum changes in Body Condition Score (BCS) studied from calving to four months of lactation in 40 Murrah buffaloes showed that BCS decreased from calving to two months of lactation and then gradually increased. Significant (P < 0.05) inverse relationship (r = -0.96) was observed between BCS and milk yield. The effect of BCS at calving (BCSc) on the milk production parameters were studied in 40 Murrah buffaloes divided into 4 groups of 10 buffaloes each based on BCSc (G1 – 2.5 to 2.99, G2- 3.0 to 3.49, G3- 3.5to 3.99 and G4- 4.0 to4.49). The total milk production (kg) upto 4 months of lactation, peak milk yield (kg), persistence, milk fat per cent, milk protein per cent and SNF per cent were 1030.93, 9.50, 1.65, 6.44, 3.39 and 8.99, respectively for G1 group, 1197.12, 11.60, 1.69, 7.54, 3.74 and 9.34 respectively for G2 group, 1658.67,16.50,1.77,8.62, 4.24 and 9.84, respectively for G3 and 1359.92, 13.75, 1.68, 9.37, 3.97 and 9.57, respectively for G4 group. Buffaloes of G3 group had significantly (p<0.01) more milk yield, peak milk yield, milk protein and SNF compared to the other groups where as buffaloes of G4 group had significantly (P<0.01) more milk fat.

“…Body condition is a determining factor in the reproductive performance of buffaloes [115,116]. Buffaloes with an intermediate body condition at calving, had a shorter conception interval (128.3 days) than those over-conditioned (144.1 days) or very thin (165.5 days) [117] and this has been recently corroborated [118]. Buffalos with ovarian inactivity had lower body condition score than those with active ovaries (2.08±0.11 vs. 2.88±0.28) [119]; and a higher body condition during the first 90 days postpartum was related to a short interval to first estrus [120] and a higher body condition score at insemination was related with a larger ovulatory follicle, lower progesterone at estrus and a higher estrus intensity [121].…”

This article aims to review both the economic impact of reproductive failures on the profitability of water buffalo systems and the effect of different factors on the reproductive performance of water buffaloes. Besides, an overview of various non-hormonal alternatives to improve reproductive performance is made. The optimal reproductive efficiency in water buffaloes implies calving to conception interval around 90 days to reach a calving interval of 400 days, with longer calving intervals having a negative impact on profitability. Reproductive efficiency is the consequence of the interaction of genetic and non-genetic factors, and the recognition of these factors by analyzing the reproductive information must be a priority. Although each factor's impact can be of greater or lesser magnitude depending on the conditions of each herd, some factors like nutrition, milk yield, body condition score, negative energy balance, parity, bull presence, low estrus intensity, and season can be considered high-impact factors. Not all factors are common among farms; therefore each farm must implement a program for the identification, control, and prevention of reproductive problems, especially during early lactation, to prevent a long anestrus; and when artificial insemination is used, so that it is done at the correct time with respect to the beginning of estrus to enhance fertility.

“…Increased number of services per conception, in calving cows with low BCS, due to late postpartum ovulation, or excessive inactive ovum (Lopez-Gatius et al, 2003 andRoche et al, 2007). Patel et al (2018) reported that the higher number of BCS Murrah buffaloes per conception (2.8 services) ranging from (2.5 and 3) at calving than those BCS buffaloes (3.25 to 3.75) was 1.68. Table (4) shows that the conception rate in crossbred cows from the first service was significantly higher (P <0.05) than 50 and 60% in cows with a body condition score equal to or higher than 3 score compared to in cows with body condition score less than 3, respectively.…”

“…Roche et al (2013) reported that cows with negative energy balance (NEB) delayed the start of the ovarian development, reduced the amount of estrous and extended the days open. Bayram et al (2012), Abunna et al (2018) and Patel et al (2018) found that in the first month of lactation, the number of services per conception with high BCS was lower than the other group. Umaña Sedó et al (2018), Kim and Jeong (2019) and Meier et al (2020) suggested that a severe post-calving negative energy balance (NEB) would lead to a reduction in the dairy cow's conception rate.…”

The present investigation aims to determine the effect of body condition score (BCS) at calving on ovarian activity and subsequent reproductive characteristics during postpartum period in crossbred cows. Thirty-six crossbred cows (Baladi cows x Friesian cows) week post-calving were used and divided into three groups of 12 cows for each group (BCS: less than 3 equal to 3 and more than 3) according to BCS. The results demonstrated that, uterine involution period, first ovulation and estrous was significantly longer, than (P <0.05) (38.4±3.4, 51.2±3.8 and 65.6±2.5, days) in cows with BCS ˂3, compared to cows with BCS equal 3 (30.2±2.2, 38.4±3.4 and 45.9±7.1, days), or more than 3 score (28.4±3.9, 30.5±2.6 and 43.2±5.3, days), respectively. The first service and conception was significantly longer (P <0.05) than (95.3±9.3 and 123.5 ±12.4, days) in cows with BCS ˂3 compared to cows with BCS equal 3 (71.2 ±6.6 and 102.3±13.1, days) to or more than 3 score (68.1±8.5 and 96.3±11.6, days), respectively. Lower NS/C in BCS ˃3 was (1.7±0.6, service) and equal 3 was (1.9±0.5, service) in comparison with those cows had BCS ˂3 was (2.7±0.4, service). The CR was significantly higher (P <0.05) than 50 and 60% in cows with a BCS equal 3 to or higher than 3 score compared to in cows with BCS less (30%) than 3, respectively. In conclusion, the current results indicated a significant effect of BCS at calving on recovery of ovarian activity and subsequent reproductive characteristics, during postpartum period in crossbred cows.
