Impact of T and RH on milk production of cows THI>85, no recovery Adapted from ASHRAE Fundamentals,
Reduction of milk vs. Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) Adapted from ASHRAE Fundamentals, 1999
Milk Production=f(HD74, HA80S) MP = – * HD74 – * HA80S Where, –MP: Milk production (in kg/day/cow ) –21.48: daily production (in kg) per cow in normal weather condition –HD74: total hrs of THI > 74 for previous 4 days –HA80S: square of total hrs of THI > 80 for previous day Linvill and Pardue (1992)
