Heat stress (HS) reduces production and efficiency in almost every metric of the dairy
operation, and it thus compromises profitability and sustainability. If the magnitude of HS …

An edited data set of 700 bulk and 46,338 test-day records collected between 2019 and
2021 in 42 Holstein-dominated farms in the Veneto Region (North of Italy) was available for …

Heat tolerance is a key feature of resilient animals. Offspring of animals that suffer
environmental stress during pregnancy could show physiological, morphological, and …

Heatwaves are a major cause of environmental and health hazards. In a global warming
scenario, the effect of heat stress associated with the increased frequency of heatwaves …

The performance of an adult dairy cow may be influenced by heat stress that occurs during
her gestation. The present study investigated potential effects of temperature-humidity index …

We evaluated the behavior and skin temperature of dual-purpose cattle that grazed pastures
having high (HC), low (LC), and no (NC) tree cover during the rainy and dry seasons in the …

Differences in feed efficiency among dairy cows could be partially explained by changes in
body temperature due to the heat increment. This heat represents chemical energy lost, and …

abstract With increasing climate variability, there is a rise in the exposure to, and incidence
of, ruminant heat stress (HS), increasing the requirement for focused research. As such …
