In a recent webinar, brought to you by the dairy community at eXtension.org, Pete Hansen with the University of Florida discusses opportunities that dairy farms can utilize to evaluate the effect of heat stress on their operations. It also discusses various environmental modifications that can be used to improve cow performance.
