Not only summers are warmer, but their shape has evolved, with alternating phases of variable temperature and periods of high humidity.
Heat stress represents a major challenge for livestock, affecting their wellbeing and productivity significantly. When temperatures rise, animals seek to regulate their body temperature by reducing their food intake, resulting in a series of complex physiological responses. These responses include alterations in breathing patterns, blood gas imbalances and reduced blood flow to essential organs, thereby contributing to heat removal.
The year 2023 was marked by one of the hottest summers in recent years. Unprecedented record temperatures all over the world.
