毛が短いと、モ～暑に負けない? 乳牛の乳量比べる実験 兵庫

Researchers in Hyogo Prefecture are conducting an experiment to see if cows with shorter hair produce more milk during hot weather. The study aims to determine if coat length affects a cow's ability to withstand heat and maintain milk production. This investigation is particularly relevant as climate change leads to more frequent and intense heatwaves, impacting livestock agriculture.

Understanding how coat characteristics influence heat tolerance in dairy cows could lead to improved animal welfare and productivity in a warming climate.
