Cover Story: Dairy cattle are particularly sensitive to heat stress due to the higher metabolic rate needed for milk production. In recent decades, global warming and the increase in dairy production in warmer countries have stimulated the development of a wide range of environmental control systems for dairy farms. Despite their proven effectiveness, the associated energy and water consumption can compromise the viability of dairy farms, due to the cost and scarcity of these resources. Furthermore, most available systems were developed to take corrective measures or are not accurate enough to effectively anticipate the animals’ thermal state. This review describes and discusses three types of predictive models that can make these systems more effective in preventing heat stress. View this paper
