How to determine obesity? Several methods are used to determine obesity like the carcass dissection, body condition score (BCS), the Cresty neck Score (CnS), morphometric measurements, ultrasound measurement and body composition measurement like deuterium oxide dilution. Body condition scoring systems are mostly used in practice. Limitations of the BCS systems are the failure to detect regional adiposity and a decreased correlation with laboratory methods to establish fat condition, when the BCS reaches 7/9 or more, (Dugdale et al, 2012). Differences in location for fat depots might be related to disease risk and therefore important to recognize. for instance, neck crest adiposity is negatively associated with insulin sensitivity in horses.
