Being overfat means having more fat than you should as determined by your skinfold measurements.

bovine / vacche con condizioni corporee eccessive / body condition scoring (BCS)


Explanation:
Evitare ***eccessive condizioni corporee delle bovine***. ... a) Osservare il BCS delle vacche asciutte e regolare la somministrazione energetica come necessario ...

Body condition scoring (BCS) is a useful management tool for distinguishing differences in nutritional needs of beef cows in the herd. This system uses a numeric score to estimate body energy reserves in the cow. Research indicates that there is a strong link between the body condition of a cow and her reproductive performance. The percentage of open cows, calving interval, and calf vigor at birth are all closely related to the body condition of cows both at calving and during the breeding season. All these factors play an important role in the economics of a beef cow-calf operation and help determine the percentage of viable calves each year. Monitoring body condition using the BCS system is an important managerial tool for assessing production efficiency.

Sovrappeso


Explanation:
Riporto da uno dei testi in reference:

"Body condition score is a critical measure of a dairy feeding system's effectiveness. Adequate body fat reserves promote milk production, reproductive efficiency and herd longevity. Excessively fat cows or overly thin cows run much greater risks of metabolic problems, lower milk yield, poor conception rates and dystocia (difficulty calving). Failure to attain proper body condition or rapid changes in body condition score during early lactation may indicate problems in herd health or feeding management."

La traduzione da me proposta (sovrappeso) non è tecnicamente corretta, ma rende l'idea. Va cercato il termine tecnico usato in Italia (dizionario di agraria e zootecnica) se la traduzione deve essere accurata.

Buon lavoro.

eccessivo stato di ingrassamento delle vacche


Explanation:
Non avendo il testo inglese per l'adattamento della traduzione mi attengo alla porzione fornita.

"L’eccessivo stato di ingrassamento delle vacche può
comportare problemi riproduttivi quali, difficoltà di parto, ritenzione di placenta e metriti, o a ripercussioni negative sulla lattazione stessa causando mastiti."
