What is Recent Advances on Early Detection of Heat Strain in Dairy Cows Using Animal-Based Indicators: A Review about?
## Simple Summary In the dairy industry, heat stress and its induced heat strain result in huge economic loss every year. To better manage heat strain in dairy cows, it is more sensible to advance the detection by using more sensitive indicators so that cooling measures can be implemented in time. With the development of sensor technologies and wireless transmission technologies, body surface temperature and respiration rate can be measured automatically through wearable devices. Lots of efforts have been made recently to develop meaningful thresholds on both physiological and environmental sides. However, the existing thresholds should be used carefully considering the differences in experimental conditions and animal information. Further studies are required to evaluate and customize thresholds based on different influencing factors. A comprehensive early detection system for heat strain based on both animal- and environment-based indicators is expected. ## Abstract In pursuit of precision livestock farming, the real-time measurement for heat strain-related data has been more and more valued. Efforts have been made recently to use more sensitive physiological indicators with the
