Dog Development Stages

Body condition score is an indicator of how well the animal maintains energy reserves, reflective of the relationship between nutrition and milk production in a herd.
There are two scales 1-5 and 1-9. 1-5 is mostly used for dairy animals and 1-9 for beef animals.

Ideal Body Condition Score by stage of lactation:
At Calving: 3-3.5
At early lactation: 3
Mid lactation: 3-3.5
Late lactation: 3.5-4
Drying off: It is not recommended to put over-conditioned cows on a diet at dry-off due to the risk of fatty liver. It is inefficient but acceptable to put body condition on during the dry period if it is needed to achieve a BCS of 3.5 (5-point scale). Total body weight should increase during the dry period regardless of body condition because the calf developing inside the cow will gain 45 to 68 grams per day.

Trichomoniasis
Etiology: this is an infection with the flagellate protozoan called
Trichomonas vaginalis.The condition is usually spread among livestock species through general activities, including contaminated artificial insemination activities/ tools or other direct contact with the contaminated fluid including contaminated milk,carcasses,like mammary tissues or uterus and prepuce,aborted fetus and discharge from contaminated reproductive tissues
Predisposing and complicating factors as in other zoonotic and venereal complication,the infection spread btw flocks through contaminated reproductive and breeding activities while contaminated carcass,residual factors and environmental circumstances act as predisposing object

To raise broilers from day old to 10weeks and gain over 4kg is possible if you know exactly what to do..
Things to note:
- Get your chicks from a good source
- Strategic brooding (good brooding techniques)
- Good feeding techniques (there are ways you can feed your birds to achieve amazing results)
And many other techniques......
