When cows are heat stressed, they eat less, produce less milk, have reduced immune function and higher SCC, and show reduced fertility. A spike in lameness often follows the hot season.
Cuando las vacas están estresadas por el calor, comen menos, producen menos leche, tienen una función inmune reducida y un conteo de células somáticas (SCC, por sus siglas en inglés) más alto, y muestran una fertilidad reducida.
Combating heat stress in the herd requires an action plan to prevent heat stress and address heat stress-related issues.
Combatir el estrés por calor en el rebaño requiere un plan de acción para prevenirlo y abordar los problemas relacionados con el mismo.
Why do cows that face a common challenge (Stress) respond differently to it (Strain), and how do managers capitalize on this?
Advances in activity monitoring technology have taken electronic estrus (heat) detection from concept to reality on more dairy farms today. This is of significance because estrus detection has historically been a challenging task.
