ABSTRAK
Body Condition Score (BCS) merupakan suatu tehnik penilaian yang membantu peternak dalam menilai tingkat perlemakan atau kegemukan. Pada penelitian ini BCS diklasifikasikan dengan rentang nilai 1 sampai 3.
BCS ada hubungannya dengan Service per Conception (S/C). Kondisi
tubuh tertentu dapat mempengaruhi nilai S/C yang dihasilkan. Penelitian telah dilakukan di UPTD Dinas Peternakan Balai Pengembangan Perbibitan Ternak (BPPT) Sapi Potong di Desa Cijeungjing, Kabupaten Ciamis, Jawa
Barat pada bulan Februari – Maret 2013 terhadap 16 ekor sapi PO yang di
Inseminasi Buatan dan telah melahirkan 1 sampai 2 kali. Metode penelitian
adalah survei dengan teknik pengambilan sampel secara purposive
sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa sapi yang memiliki nilai kondisi tubuh kurus (BCS 1) dan kondisi tubuh gemuk (BCS 3) memiliki nilai S/C lebih dari 2. Hal ini mencerminkan bahwa sapi dengan kondisi tubuh yang kurus atau gemuk memiliki proses reproduksi yang tidak efisien.

ABSTRACT
Body Condition Score (BCS) is an evaluation technique that helps farmers in assessing the level of fatty or obese. BCS in this research were classified with a range of 1 to 3. BCS is related to the Service per Conception (S/C). Certain body conditions can affect the value of the S/C. Maximum productivity is influenced by the optimal body conditions. Observations were made in UPTD The Centre of Cattle Research (BPPT), Cijeungjing Village, Ciamis District, West Java, in February - March 2013. The research utilised 16 PO cows which had been artificially inseminated and have been pregnant for 1 to 2 times. The research method was survey and samples were gained by purposive sampling. The result shows that the value of S/C for cattles with BCS 1 (thin) and BCS 3 (fat) were more than two. It is indicated that cows with body condition thin and fat expressed inefficient reproduction process.
