Implication

Comprehensive review reveals heat stress impacts dairy cow health and production, indicating the need for effective management strategies.

Key Points

  • This review aims to investigate the effects of thermal stress on dairy cattle, focusing on physiology, metabolism, health, and performance.
  • Comprehensive literature review on the impacts of thermal stress on dairy cattle
  • Analysis of immune function and metabolic changes due to heat stress
  • Examination of heat mitigation technologies in dairy management
  • Heat stress significantly reduces immune function in dairy cows, leading to increased disease susceptibility and higher somatic cell counts
  • Dry cows exposed to heat stress show lower immunoglobulin levels post-vaccination, affecting calf health
  • Effective heat mitigation strategies are essential for maintaining milk production and farm profitability.
