The ITH and time of the Year in the Production of Dairy cows in the Cuban Tropics

Summary

The study aimed to determine the effect of temperature and humidity (ITH) variations on cow dairy production in Las Tunas, Cuba. The work was carried out between January 2017 and December 2018. The statistical analysis was carried out, using the multivariate MLG procedure through a variance analysis, and a binary logistic regression analysis to estimate the risk factors affecting milk production, concluding that the problems caused by caloric stress for livestock are evident and accentuated by climate change, reflected in variations in temperature and humidity that negatively impact on dairy production.
