The effects of high ambient temperatures on production animals, once thought to be limited
to tropical areas, has extended into northern latitudes in response to the increasing global …

Livestock plays an important role in the global economy. Climate change effects are not only
limited to crop production, but also affect livestock production, for example reduced milk …

Sustainability in livestock production system is largely affected by climate change. An
imbalance between metabolic heat production inside the animal body and its dissipation to …

Animal welfare can be negatively affected when dairy cattle experience heat stress.
Managing heat stress has become more of a challenge than ever before, due to the …

Environmental-induced hyperthermia compromises efficient animal production and
jeopardizes animal welfare. Reduced productive output during heat stress was traditionally …

The data set for this study comprised 1,488,474 test-day records for milk, fat, and protein
yields and fat and protein percentages from 191,012 first-, second-, and third-parity Holstein …

Simple Summary It is well known that the thermal environment has an integral role in
maintaining the health and productivity of cattle. Although cold stress has been identified to …

Environmentally induced periods of heat stress decrease productivity with devastating
economic consequences to global animal agriculture. Heat stress can be defined as a …

The changes in the environmental factors like ambient temperature, relative humidity, wind
speed and solar radiation causes stresses in lactating cattle. Heat stress is a condition in …

Lactating dairy cows exhibit a myriad of responses to heat stress. These responses partially
facilitate the thermal balance between heat gain and heat loss, but also account for …
