Along with recognition of environmental effects on the performance and welfare of livestock
animals, studies have been proposing new methodologies and parameters to diagnose the …

Sensing and measuring meteorological and physiological parameters of humans, animals,
and plants are necessary to understand the complex interactions that occur between …

Circadian rhythms exist in almost all types of cells in mammals. Thousands of genes exhibit
approximately 24 h oscillations in their expression levels, making the circadian clock a …

The objective of this research was to use image analysis techniques to extract
characteristics of interest and to establish a model of animal thermal comfort, based on the …

Simple Summary A suitable environment for dairy cows has become increasingly important,
especially in the summer in tropical countries. Excess heat increases body, hormonal …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of different heat-stress-reducing
systems, ie, sprinkler+ artificial shade, shower+ artificial shade, and artificial shade, on …

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 …

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 …

Since the first issue of the International Journal of Biometeorology in 1957, a total of 135
papers have reported on research in or of African countries. The majority of these have been …

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 …
