What is Pelvic Scoring?📏
Pelvic scoring is use of a pelvimeter to assess size of a pelvis in a heifer, to help with breeding decision making.
The measuring device is used internally to get values for height and width of the pelvis, which are multiplied to produce a score, and assessed based on various factors including breed and age.
This can help with decision making in heifers pre breeding, whether to breed or not, or what breed to put them to.
It can be particularly helpful to reduce incidence of calving difficulties, helping to potentially prevent stressful veterinary interventions at calving.
