Therefore, from January-December 2018, research on the performance of Bali cattle production-based agroecosystem was conducted. The research location was chosen purposively representing agroecosystems of pasture, agriculture, plantation and forest. The number of respondents was 5-10% of the number of cattle farmers in each agroecosystem that had >10 Bali cattle. The respondents were interviewed using a questionnaire prepared. Field observations were also conducted to measure the performance of Bali cattle production. The data analysis used the Importance-Performance Analysis method which was processed through a computerized SPSS program and the results were explained descriptively. The results of this study indicated that the level of importance and performance of Bali cattle in the pasture, agriculture, plantation and forest agroecosystems showed the same conditions where the performance (productivity) of Bali cattle in each agroecosystem was good for such attributes as body weight, calf crop, and conception rate.

However, there is a little information on Body Condition Score (BCS) of Ankole cattle and their effect on reproduction, production and longevity. The objective of the study was to evaluate body condition score and its influence on production and reproduction performances as well as health status of Ankole cows in Nyagat are district of Rwanda. Based on the sampling frame, 60 Ankole cattle were evaluated and primary data were collected through visual, touch and feel on the external part of the body while the existing records were used as secondary data. Results showed that BCS had an influence on longevity, disease prevalence, physical appearance, production and reproduction performances in Ankole cows. High percentage (25%) of Ankole cows had a body condition score of three. These cows had normal reproduction performance compared to the rest of cows. The healthiest cows were found to be in the BCS of 3-5. This means that better BSC for disease prevalence was$3. It is suggested that farmers should use the BCS as a management tool to improved productivity of Ankole cows.","PeriodicalId":14914,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal and Veterinary Advances","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49148116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
