Dear Dr. Amanda
Thanks for the publication. Unfortunately, this article, as many others published before, are very general and don't give exact instructions on when and how to do things. farmers reading this article do not know exactly, what are the cow's requirements for good cooling. The article is missing the most important things like wind speed required, wetting quality, time of cooling etc'.
I published a few months ago an article in this magazine (" Air, water time and cow -this is all you need to cool your cows"), I suggest Engormix to publish this article once again, as a service to these farmers

Israel Flamenbaum it is of great service to the farmers living in this part of the world where substance and semi commercial farming is practised. your article was also of great importance for farmers in the developing countries like ours. However i would suggest to think of the poor farmers as well while commenting on such articles, may not be of any work at your end but still be the need of the others please.e.g one dies of hunger in sudan being a poor country and the other from a wealthy country like yours advises him/her to eat pizza...............hmnnnn
