Tree Shade Improves Milking Performance, Apparent Digestibility, Antioxidant Capacity, and Immunity of Dairy Cows in Open Sheds

Tree Shade Improves Milking Performance, Apparent Digestibility, Antioxidant Capacity, and Immunity of Dairy Cows in Open Sheds

Dairy cows are suffering from heat stress (HS) worldwide, and this has become a continual challenge in dairy production systems. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the shade of poplar trees on alleviating HS via measuring milk production, nutrient digestibility, immunity,...
