Sensitivity of US dairy production to extreme cold and heat has diminished over recent
decades in large part due to improvements in management, breeding and technology …

Animal-level responses to weather variability in US dairy systems are well described, but the
potential of housing and other farm management practices (for example, fans and sprinklers) …

The effects of high ambient temperatures on production animals, once thought to be limited
to tropical areas, has extended into northern latitudes in response to the increasing global …

Abstract In the United States, climate change is likely to increase average daily temperatures
and the frequency of heat waves, which can reduce meat and milk production in animals …

There are clear signs that milk production growth is leveling off, and recently even declining,
in China. Heat stress is one of the main reasons for the recent reduction in milk production …

Pronounced seasonal patterns of milk yield and composition are evident in cattle. These
seasonal patterns are largely induced by climatological variables, breed effects and …

Lactating dairy cows exhibit a myriad of responses to heat stress. These responses partially
facilitate the thermal balance between heat gain and heat loss, but also account for …

Cost-effective heat mitigation strategies are imperative for maintaining milk production and
dairy farm profitability in the US with projected climate change. This study investigated the …

The potential direct effects of possible global warming on summer season dairy production
and reproduction were evaluated for the United States and Europe. Algorithms used for milk …

All animals have a range of ambient environmental temperatures termed the thermo neutral
zone. This is the range of temperatures that are conducive to health and performance. The …
