Heat Stress Takes Toll on Dairy Animal

Published: February 28, 2012
Summary
Heat stress occurs in animals when there is problem in thermoregulation i.e., imbalance between heat production within the body (gain) and its dissipation from the body (loss). Increased ambient temperature may lead to enhanced heat gain as compared to heat loss from the body and cause heat stress in animals.

I agree with both previous comments... Have you ever met any groupping of dairy cows inside of new, modern stables? There are more than 100 heat stress days a year in Hungary (considering dairy farming), and the past times we could observe groupping of cows in 30-40 years old barns only. The new generation of stables (12 m high roof, movable curtins on longside walls, fan and spray system, resting boxes etc.) had been introduced in 1999. Several companies are busy in building stables, and from 3 year groupping of cows has appeared in the new-style stables too. All the parameters of building seems to be correct, but groupping is continously exist on the heat-stress months. Have You any comments for solution?
