“…The current results provide these points. The inhibition in methane was correlated with inhibition in protozoa, and was in parallel with A/P decline, without impairing the DMD, and OMD as manifested by Sejian, et al [67]. In this regard, the effect of adding eucalyptus oil was different on DMD compared to OMD.…”

Greenhouse gases (GHG) are the prime determinant of global warming phenomena. The main ingredients of GHG are carbon dioxide (CO 2), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and methane (CH 4). According to the predictions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the surficial temperature is going to increase 1.8-4.0ºC by 2050 [1]. Interestingly, methane is one of the final products, which is produced as a result of the degradation of organic matter (OM), especially carbohydrates in the fore-stomach chamber in ruminants. Furthermore, it is the highest contributor to climate change [2, 3]. The increase of CH 4 is going to run on the production of another serious gas, and the troposphere ozone and human activities are responsible for approximately 70% of global methane [4]. In addition, methane has a more hazardous effect than CO 2 since it binds the earthly warmth 20 times more than CO 2 [5]. This gas is firmly squandering to the feed energy [2]. The livestock sector has an essential role in the current global warming problem, since the gas emission from the ruminants is representing about

“…For livestock production enterprises, climate change has the potential to alter the thermal environment, which may result in the climate having an increasingly negative impact on the welfare and productivity of cattle. Periods of hot weather are already associated with reduced animal health, reduced reproductive efficiency in both males and females, and decreased feed conversion efficiency [4,6]. Therefore, it is likely that climate change will have a considerable impact on the economic viability of animal agriculture worldwide.…”

Heat stress and cold stress have a negative influence on cattle welfare and productivity. There have been some studies investigating the influence of cold stress on cattle, however the emphasis within this review is the influence of heat stress on cattle. The impact of hot weather on cattle is of increasing importance due to the changing global environment. Heat stress is a worldwide phenomenon that is associated with reduced animal productivity and welfare, particularly during the summer months. Animal responses to their thermal environment are extremely varied, however, it is clear that the thermal environment influences the health, productivity, and welfare of cattle. Whilst knowledge continues to be developed, managing livestock to reduce the negative impact of hot climatic conditions remains somewhat challenging. This review provides an overview of the impact of heat stress on production and reproduction in bovines.

“…Climate change is transforming the earth ecosystems, and such change is producing a series of damaging abnormal weather phenomena, with the summer prolonged and the temperature relatively increasing in the world [ 1 ]. Early research demonstrated that the increasing trend of mean/max/min surface temperature is evident during the summer season in Korea [ 2 ].…”

Objective: In this study we investigated the effect of seasonal thermal stress on milk production and milk compositions between Holstein and Jersey dairy cows under the temperateclimate in Korea.Methods: A total of 9 Holstein lactating dairy cows (2.0±0.11 parity) which had a daily milk yield of 29.77±0.45 kg, and days in milk of 111.2±10.29 were selected similarly at the beginning of the experiments in each season. Also, a total of 9 Jersey lactating dairy cows (1.7±0.12 parity) which had a daily milk yield of 20.01±0.43 kg, and days in milk of 114.0±9.74 were selected similarly at the beginning of the experiments.Results: Results showed that the average ambient temperature (°C) and temperature-humidity index (THI) were higher in summer, and were lower in winter (p<0.05). The average relative humidity (RH, %) was higher in autumn than that of other seasons (p<0.05). Milk production was significantly decreased (Holstein 29.02 kg/d and Jersey 19.75 kg/d) in autumn than in other seasons (Holstein 30.14 kg/d and Jersey 20.96 kg/d). However, the milk production was negatively correlated in Holstein cows, and positively correlated in Jersey cows with THI values increased from 16 to 80. In addition, milk yield was increased by 15% in Holstein cows and decreased by 11% in Jersey cows with the THI values increased from 16 to 20. The fat and protein content percentage was significantly higher in Jersey milk than in Holstein milk, furthermore the fat and protein content yield was higher in Jersey cow milk than that of Holstein cow’s milk with all THIs.Conclusion: From the study results, we concluded that Jersey cows might be less adaptable to low temperature of the winter, and this would have a negative impact on dairy farmer income since Korea’s milk price estimation system places a higher value on milk yield than on milk compositions or sanitary grades.
