Metabolic and hormonal acclimation to heat stress in domesticated ruminants. (2010, background): “Increased circulating NEFAs are typical in ‘transitioning’ cows and represent (along with NEFA-derived ketones) a significant source of energy (and are precursors for milk fat synthesis) for cows in NEBAL.”
Invited review: Enteric methane in dairy cattle production: quantifying the opportunities and impact of reducing emissions. (2014, background): “During heat stress, milk production is decreased more than DMI, which increases CH4/ECM (Rhoads et al., 2009).”
Effects of heat stress on energetic metabolism in lactating Holstein cows. (2010, background): “De acordo com trabalhos anterior, confirma - se que devido reduzida IMS responde apenas 50% da perdas na síntese de Leite (Rhoads et al., 2009).”
Adaptation to hot climate and strategies to alleviate heat stress in livestock production. (2012, neutral): “Using pair-feeding techniques (Rhoads et al., 2009) showed that the reduced feed intake accounts for only 35% of the milk production decrease under heat stress.”
