Metabolic and hormonal acclimation to heat stress in domesticated ruminants. (2010, background): “Bouraoui et al. (2002) in a 2-year study, found a negative correlation between milk yield and daily THI (r 5 20.76).”
Defining and evaluating heat stress thresholds in different dairy cow production systems (2012, background): “Bouraoui et al. (2002) found a negative correlation (r=−0.76) between daily THI and milk yield.”
Temperature-humidity indices as indicators of milk production losses due to heat stress. (2007, background): “…in livestock have focused mainly on temperature and relative humidity (Igono et al., 1985; Igono and Johnson, 1990; Ravagnolo and Misztal, 2000; Bouraoui et al., 2002; St-Pierre et al., 1947 2003; West, 2003; Correa-Calderon et al., 2004) because data on the amount of thermal radiation…”
