TLDR
A review of factors influencing heat stress in lactating dairy cows and how it affects milk production is provided in this article, where the thermoneutral zone, heat production and heat gain, heat dissipation mechanisms, and how the lactating cow responds to heat stress are discussed.About:

Effects of climate changes on animal production and sustainability of livestock systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change on livestock following the theory of global warming are discussed and a relevant increase of drought is expected across the world affecting forage and crop production, which will reduce the carrying capacity of rangelands and buffering ability of agropastoral and pastoral systems.

Voluntary food intake and diet selection in farm animals.
TL;DR: Feeding behaviour feedback signals ruminant gastrointestinal tract metabolites and hormones central nervous control integrative theories of food intake control growth and fattening reproduction and lactation diet digestability and concentration of available energy specific nutrients affecting intake.

Climate change and livestock: Impacts, adaptation, and mitigation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the global impacts of climate change on livestock production, the contribution of livestock production to climate change, and specific climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in the livestock sector.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation to hot climate and strategies to alleviate heat stress in livestock production.
TL;DR: The objective of this paper was to review the effective strategies to alleviate heat stress in the context of tropical livestock production systems and those involving genetic selection for heat tolerance.

Estimación lineal de los requerimientos nutricionales del NRC para ganado de leche
TL;DR: Linear regression equations have been obtained to directly calculate the nutrient requirements of dairy cattle (TDN, DE, ME, NEL,CP, Ca, P, Vitamin A and Vitamin D) on different physiological stages: maintenance, pregnancy and milk production based on NRC nutrient requirements tables.

Body size and metabolism
TL;DR: In spite of the theoretical weakness of the surface law, the computation of basal metabolism to the unit of the body surface seems at present the most satisfactory method available of equalizing experimental results for differences in the size of experimental animals.
