Evaluating the impact of heat stress as measured by temperature- humidity index (THI) on test-day milk yield of dairy cattle in Tanzania
The aim of this study was to measure losses in milk production due to the impact of heat stress, using temperature-humidity index (THI) on test-day milk records of small holder dairy cattle farms in Tanzania. Climate data obtained from aWhere, an agricultural weather data platform (http://www.awhere...
