The invention relates to a method to determine a body condition score of an animal comprising the steps of: -providing a three-dimensional camera system configured and arranged to record at least one three-dimensional image of the animal, and an image processing device to process the image; -recording at least one three-dimensional image of the animal; -processing the image of the animal; -wherein processing of the image comprises the steps of: -forming a three-dimensional surface representation of a part of the animal from the three-dimensional image recorded by the three-dimensional camera system; -determining, in the image, reference points of the animal, in particular at least including hook bone points and pin bone points of the animal; -selecting a surface part of the animal representative for a body condition of the animal using the reference points, and -analyzing a first parameter representative for a body condition of the animal of the selected surface part; and -determining the body condition score on the basis of the first parameter. |
