Abstract
Aiming determination of the variability of production traits (daily milk
yield and composition) and microclimate parameters (ambient temperature and
humidity) in the barns; as well as the correlation between the analyzed
groups of traits, 1,636,192 test-day records from Simmentals and 1,275,713
test-day records from Holsteins were analysed. Performed analysis indicate
high variability of production traits due to cow?s breed, parity as well as
breeding region. Also, high variability of microclimate parameters in the
barns due to season and breeding region was found. Furthermore,
statistically highly significant (p < 0.001) correlations between the
production traits and microclimate parameters were determined. Finally, the
negative effect of inadequate microclimate on daily milk production was
determined in both breeds in all breeding regions. Since genetic evaluation
and selection of dairy cattle for heat resistance is only long-term method
for heat stress managing, determined effect will be taken into account in
the statistical model for estimation of genetic parameters and breeding
values.
