Brown Swiss cows are more heat resistant than Holstein cows under hot summer conditions of the continental climate of Ukraine
Finding livestock breeds that are resistant to high temperatures may be one of the strategies for mitigating the impact of global climate change on dairy farming. In this investigation, we studied the heat resistance of Holstein (HB) and Brown Swiss (BS) cows on two commercial dairy farms under the hot summer conditions of Ukraine. The physiological response of animals determined heat resistance by measuring rectal temperature (RT) and respiratory rate (RR) in the morning (from 4:00 to 6:00) in comfortable conditions and the afternoon (from 14:00 to 16:00), during heat load. The temperature-humidity index (THI) was used to characterize weather conditions and microclimate in naturally ventilated rooms (NVBs). BS cows were found to be heat resistant. The reaction of HB cows to the heat was manifested by higher growth of RT and RR, and they suffered significant losses in the daily milk yield per cow in the summer. Further research will need to elucidate the biological and genetic mechanisms of the identified breed differences in heat tolerance of dairy cows.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Animal Behaviour and Biometeorology (ISSN 2318-1265) is the official journal of the Center for Applied Animal Biometeorology (Brazil) currently published by Malque Publishing. Our journal is published quarterly, where the published articles are inserted into areas of animal behaviour, animal biometeorology, animal welfare, and ambience: farm animals (mammals, birds, fish, and bees), wildlife (mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians), pets, animals in zoos and invertebrate animals. The publication is exclusively digital and articles are freely available to the international community. Manuscript submission implies that the data are unpublished and have not been submitted for publication in other journals. JABB publishes original articles in the form of Original Articles, Short Communications, and Reviews. Original Articles arising from research work should be well grounded in theory and execution should follow the scientific methodology and justification for its objectives; Short Communications should provide sufficient results for a publication in accordance with the Research Article; Reviews should involve the relevant scientific literature on the subject. JABB publishes articles in English only. All articles should be written strictly adopting all the rules of spelling and grammar.
