• Invited review: Effects of heat stress on dairy cattle welfare. (2017, background): “Heat stress is defined as the sum of external forces acting on an animal that causes an increase in body temperature and evokes a physiological response (Dikmen and Hansen, 2009).”
• Defining and evaluating heat stress thresholds in different dairy cow production systems (2012, background): “This fact also might have caused that the upper critical temperature for the occurrence of hyperthermia in Florida was 28.4 °C (Dikmen & Hansen 2009), in contrast to measurements of Berman et al. (1985) in Israel (upper critical temperature: 25 to 26 °C).”
