With the aim to assess the changes in body condition score (BCS) in relation to reproductive status, 46 Bulgarian Murrah buffaloes (13 heifers and 33 cows) were subjected to 14 monthly check sessions carried out by two evaluators.

The ANOVA showed that reproductive status is a highly significant source of variance of BCS (F= 12.85, P
