Agriculture / Horse feed
Spanish term or phrase: estado de carnes
Hello everyone,

I'm translating a short text about horse feed, and have come across this phrase:

La ingesta total diaria recomendada en un caballo en un correcto estado de carnes es...

I'm struggling to find the meaning/translation of "estado de carnes", in large part because Googling presents an overwhelming amount of information about the properties of horse meat.

I assume it's something to do with the body weight/muscle mass of the horse, but I'm not sure of this, nor of the equivalent in English.

Thanks in advance!

Body condition scoring is used extensively as an aid to management of sheep and cattle. Research in horses has shown that condition scoring provides a useful and objective method of monitoring body condition. Body condition (fatness) is the most reliable indicator of the suitability of a horse's diet.
