  • Title: Heat stress interaction with shade and cooling.
    Author: Armstrong DV.
    Journal: J Dairy Sci; 1994 Jul; 77(7):2044-50. PubMed ID: 7929964.
    Abstract:
    Hot weather causes heat stress in dairy cattle. Although effects are more severe in hot climates, dairy cattle in areas with relatively moderate climates also are exposed to periods of heat stress. The resultant decrease in milk production and reproductive efficiency can be offset by implementation of a program consisting of cooling through shades, ventilation and spray, and fans. The economic benefit should be determined before installation of equipment to reduce heat stress.
