The current review is designed with aims to highlight the impact of heat stress (HS) on
calves and heifers and to suggest methods for HS alleviation. HS occurs in animals when …

The aims of this study were, first, to evaluate the effects of climatic variables on daily feed
intake of lactating sows and, second, to establish whether the response of sows to variation …

Our aim was to understand how protection from solar radiation influenced the behaviour and
physiology of Holstein Friesian dairy cattle. We compared the behaviour and body …

Rising temperatures caused by climate change have adverse effects on cattle physiology,
welfare, health, and reproduction. Heat stress in cows affects the oocyte and embryo directly …

The reproductive performance of lactating sows was investigated by using different feeding
methods including conventional feeding (CF, 3 times/d) or free feeding (FF), and different …

Thermal stress causes severe effects on the wellbeing and reproduction of cattle, including
changes in oogenesis and spermatogenesis, generating great concerns, which last for …

This short communication compares the reproductive lifetime performance of sows kept
indoors and outdoors in Croatia between January 1999 and December 2002. Lifetime …

The severity of heat stress on livestock production can be measured using certain weather
parameters, which summate the intensity of heat stress exposure. Temperature-humidity …

The objective of the present study was to quantify the associations between climate data and
either weaning-to-first-mating interval (WMI) or adjusted 21-day litter weights of sows during …

Heat stress has detrimental effects on lactating sows and their litters, including decreased
feed intake and milk production in sows and decreased weight gain in their offspring. It also …
