The use of "summer to winter ratio" index as a tool to define how successfully dairy farms deal with summer heat stress
Published: August 16, 2016
Summary
In the last 40 years, Israeli researchers realized comparative studies in order to define the negative effect of heat stress in dairy cows and the effect of using cooling methods to mitigate the heat and reduce the losses in the productivity and fertility of the cows during summer. Recently, an index called "summer to winter ratio" was developed in the Israeli dairy sector. This index allows ...

thank you for the useful article
1- what is the effect of evaporative cooling on the floor and consequently on the udder and the feet ?
2- is there any negative effect on the cows when the relative humidity of the air is high?
3-what is the recommended airspeed over the cows ?
4- what is the recommended floor space /cow ?
