• Invited review: Effects of heat stress on dairy cattle welfare. (2017, background): “%) of animals ruminating (Blackshaw and Blackshaw, 1994), higher milk yield (West, 2003), and decreased body temperatures compared with unshaded animals (Kendall et al., 2006).”
• Dairy cows prefer shade that offers greater protection against solar radiation in summer: Shade use, behaviour, and body temperature (2009, background): “Cows readily use shade when given access to it and the provision of shade can alleviate negative effects of heat load (Kendall et al., 2006; Tucker et al., 2008).”
