Heat stress is one of the main obstacles to achieving efficient cattle production systems, and
it may have numerous adverse effects on cattle. As the planet undergoes climatic changes …

Based on our search, we believe that this is the first paper to evaluate the use of photovoltaic
panels as shade resources for livestock. Photovoltaic panels can provide artificial shades to …

This review makes an attempt to characterize the physical attributes of heat tolerance,
thermal equilibrium and thermal stress thresholds for dairy cows living in tropical …

Use of solar panels as shading resource combines better animal welfare, generation of
renewable energy and animal production in the same area. This concept is termed Animal …

Ground radiation considerably affects the outdoor mean radiant temperature (MRT).
However, ground radiation can vary significantly due to environmental and material …

The aim of this work was to evaluate the thermal comfort of sows in a free-range system in
the Brazilian Savanna, based on behavior observation, availability of shading resources …

Provision of shade reduces radiant heat load on feedlot cattle, thus reducing demand of
water and energy for thermoregulation. While the positive effects of shade on animal welfare …

Global solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity grew rapidly from 70 GW in 2011 to 942 GW in 2021,
accounting for nearly 3.7% of electricity generation in 2021 [1]. It is predicted to expand …

Simple Summary Using photovoltaic panels to provide artificial shade for animals can result
in the “co-generation” of electrical energy, and it is an efficient way of achieving net-zero …

Lysolecithin might increase ruminal and intestinal emulsification, leading to increased
digestibility, but there is minimum information about which is the most appropriate phase to …
