Heat stress exerts a substantial effect on dairy production. The temperature and humidity
index (THI) is widely used to assess heat stress in dairy operations. Herein, we review the …

Automation of the measurement of the physiological and behavioural parameters of
livestock has become an important goal for both scientists and farmers. Accurate data and …

A trend of global warming has been observed over the last few years and it has often been
discussed whether there is an effect on livestock. Numerous studies have been published …

Shade is a mechanism to reduce heat load providing cattle with an environment supportive
of their welfare needs. Although heat stress has been extensively reviewed, researched, and …

Does the silvopastoral system (SPS) promote a satisfactory thermal environment for dairy
cows to perform their natural behaviors and perform a suitable thermoregulatory function …

The automated collection of phenotypic measurements in livestock is becoming increasingly
important to both researchers and farmers. The capacity to non-invasively collect real-time …

Many cooling strategies are used to keep cows in thermal homeostasis; however, most of
them are applied to the group level, commonly at the feed bunk or milking parlor. The …

Non-invasive methods of detecting heat stress magnitude for livestock is gaining momentum
in the context of global climate change. Therefore, the objective of this review is to focus on …
