Milk quality of Italian Mediterranean buffalo as affected by temperature-humidity index during late spring and summer

A total of 18 Italian Mediterranean buffalo cows were subjected to fortnightly milk sampling from May to July 2022. Air temperature and relative humidity were monitored throughout the trial. Temperature-humidity index (THI) was calculated and ranged from 69 to 79, so that 3 classes were set to study the effect of different THI on milk quality: THI less than 72 (THI
