Abstract: Assessing body condition score (BCS) is vital in livestock management as it offers key information on health, nutritional status, and reproductive function. This research seeks to investigate the correlation between physical parameters and body condition rating in Sangamneri goats, a famous breed in certain agricultural areas. Our results indicate strong connections between BCS and certain physical characteristics, demonstrating the possibility of using basic physical metrics as dependable markers of body condition in Sangamneri goats. The findings have practical significance for managing Sangamneri goats by enabling early detection of nutritional shortages or health problems, enhancing feeding techniques, and enhancing herd performance. This research adds to the existing information on Sangamneri goats, promoting improved management techniques and enhancing the sustainability of this goat breed within agricultural systems.
