Abstract

Evaluating the nutritional status of cattle is important for supporting productivity, reproductive efficiency, and health. Body morphometry and body condition score (BCS) are widely used methods because they are practical and can directly describe the physiological conditions of cattle. This review analyzed the role of body morphometry and BCS in determining the nutritional status of cattle and their relationship with production and reproductive performances. We used a systematic literature review method by searching scientific articles from the ScienceDirect, PubMed, Google Scholar, Garuda, and DOAJ databases published between 2016 and 2026. Article selection was performed using the PICO approach and PRISMA guidelines to obtain relevant open-access studies. The review showed that chest girth is the most representative morphometric parameter for predicting body weight, production capacity, and nutritional status because of its close relationship with muscle development and fat deposition in the thorax. Body length and withers height also reflect skeletal capacity and growth performance. BCS represents energy reserves and metabolic conditions associated with reproductive efficiency. The combination of morphometry and BCS provides a more comprehensive nutritional evaluation than either method alone. Body morphometry and BCS can be used as objective, economical, and applicable approaches for monitoring the nutritional status of cattle, especially in smallholder farming systems. Future studies should develop breed-based morphometric standards and digital technologies to improve the accuracy of nutritional assessment in cattle.

Abstract

Atopic dermatitis is a multifactorial disease associated with inflammatory and pruritic allergic conditions, with a genetic predisposition and immunoglobulin E (IgE) production against environmental allergens. To address this disease, the use of coconut oil as a herbal medicine may serve as an alternative therapy. This study aimed to evaluate changes in macroscopic skin lesions in dogs with atopic dermatitis following coconut oil administration. The study used five Balinese local breed dogs with atopic dermatitis aged three months. The dogs received coconut oil massage treatment once every three days for 33 days. The research procedure involved observing the progression of primary and secondary lesion healing, hair growth around the lesion area, and microscopic examination of the hair growth phase. The data were analyzed using nonparametric tests, followed by the Friedman test, Wilcoxon test, and regression analysis. The results of the Friedman, Wilcoxon, and regression tests showed significant healing after coconut oil application, with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in macroscopic observations. Overall, improvements in macroscopic lesions were observed in all sample dogs, characterized by reduced pruritus, erythema, macules, papules, pustules, crusts, scabs, scaling, hyperpigmentation, and lichenification, as well as hair regrowth in areas affected by alopecia. In conclusion, coconut oil application is effective in improving the healing of macroscopic lesions in dogs with atopic dermatitis.
