1 The negative impact of heat on the high yielding dairy cow Cirio workshop February 8, 2017 Dr,. Israel Flamenbaum Dr. Flamenbaum (Cow Cooling Solutions) Ltd. 1
2 In these days, hot summers are considered to cause the largest economical losses to the world dairy sector (even more than mastitis and low fertility) A Large scale survey carried out by Prof. N. St. Pierre, Economist, Ohio State University St. Pierre, 2003, J. Dairy Sci. 86: (E52 E77) 2
3 .. No matter where you live, you can t afford to ignore heat. Even if it only lasts for a week or two, the lingering effect of heat can be detrimental to your pocketbook.. Shirley Roenfeldt Dairy Herd Management Magazine May
4 The problem of the dairy cow in the summer is the high heat production Described through 100W lamp (Published in Hoard s Dairyman Magazine, May 2000) A man in rest produce the heat of 1 lamp. Non lactating cow produce the heat of 9 lamps. Additional heat production of 1 lamp for every lit. of milk produced. 45 lit./day cow produces the amount of heat equivalent to 19 lamps. Exposing the cow to the sun will add 16 lamps. 4
5 The financial impact of environmental heat on the global dairy industry probably exceeds that of mastitis and other economically detrimental parameters like poor reproduction.. (N, St. Pierre, The Ohio State University, Columbus - personal communication) From: Roads et al -Journal of Dairy Science Vol. 92, 2009 No. 5:

8 When do cows start suffering from heat? 8
9 THI - Temperature Humidity Index 9
10 Behavior changes under Heat Stress conditions Reduce general activity Reduce rumination time Increased water consumption Reduce feed intake Seek for shaded areas Standing and crowding Seek for natural ventilation Reduce time and intensity of estrous behavior 10
11 Summer heat conditions leads to: - Decreased milk production. - Reduced milk fat and protein content. - Reduce Dry Matter (DM) consumption - Reduced feed efficiency (feed conversion to milk). - Reduced conception rate (prolongation of calving interval ). - Increase in post-calving health problems. - Impairment of udder development in late pregnancy. 11
12 Performance losses caused by heat in dairy cows Lower Peak lactation (10-15% ) Lower annual milk production (5-20%). Lower milk fat and protein content (0.4 and 0.2 percentage units). Higher milk Somatic Cell Count,SCC (100,000 units). Lower conception rate ( percentage units). Reduce heat detection rate (50%). Reduce feed efficiency ( 10 15%). Reduce immune status. 12
13 13 Seasonal changes in herd milk fat and protein content in the USA (Hoard s Dairyman - September 19, 2009)
14 14 Seasonal changes in herd cell count in the USA (Hoard s Dairyman - September 19, 2009)
15 Negative effect of heat on the fertility process Follicular development ovum quality Ovulation time in relation to time of estrus and artificial Insemination. Reduce the duration of estrus (lowering heat detection probability) Reduce fertilization probability. Reduce conception rate Increase early and late pregnancy losses. 15
16 Two main factors influencing the interaction between heat conditions and feed efficiency 16

(feeding cost of 5 Euro/cow/day X 120 summer ful days X 15%) 19
20 .. Production losses during heat are Just the tip of the iceberg. You must account for the losses that occur after the heat subsides... Shirley Roenfeldt Dairy Herd Management Magazine May

Dairy Sci. 86: (E52 E77 Economical losses caused by heat conditions causes to the average US cow US$ /year. In extremely warm regions (Texas, Florida, Arizona), where > 50% of year time is above critical THI, milk production and economical losses are expected to be of 2000 lit/year and 700 US$, respectively. In temperate regions (Montana, Idaho), where less than 15% of year time is above critical THI, milk production and economical losses are expected to be of 150 lit/year and 50 US$, respectively. 22
