Title : ( Production responses to temperature and humidity index in lactating dairy cows )
Authors: Abbas Ali Naserian , Reza Valizadeh , بهنام صارمی ,Abstract
One of the greatest challenges to production facing dairy farms in the north and north-east of Iran is heat stress. Climatic conditions in this area are such that warm (or hot) season is relatively long, as generally there is high relative humidity. Lactating dairy cows produce a huge quantity of metabolic heat. Heat produced and accumulated in the body of dairy cows. The body temperature rises, intake declined and finally the cow’s productivity reduce as temperaturehumidity index (THI) rise up. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of THI on milk production and constituents in the north-east of Iran.
