“…On a final note, science recognizes climate change as one of the key causes of changes in the productivity of dairy cattle (Sejian et al, 2021). However, the complexity of the relationships between weather conditions and individual indicators of animal productivity makes it difficult to assess their impact on future losses since the impacts associated with climate change can be very diverse (Lees et al, 2022).…”

“…For example, the temperature and humidity index (THI) based on measurements of air temperature (AT) and relative humidity (RH) has been widely used to determine the severity of heat stress. The THI is informative and easy to calculate (Sejian et al, 2021). According to Rodriguez-Venegas et al (2022), temperature-humidity index (THI) values classify heat stress in dairy cows as 68-71 THI (light stress), 72-76 THI (moderate stress), 77-79 THI (intense stress), and ≥80 THI (extreme stress).…”

The increasing variability of weather conditions associated with global climate change is becoming a major problem for dairy farming. The present article provided the results of studies on the relationship between the milk production of Holstein cows and environmental parameters during the warm season. The study investigated whether the relationship between weather conditions (air temperature, relative humidity, wind direction, wind strength, and insolation) and daily milk yield, as well as its components (milk fat yield and milk protein), depended on the conditions comfortable for the cows. The temperature-humidity index was calculated based on air temperature and relative humidity data, which were recorded by the nearest weather station to the farm, which is subordinate to the Ukrainian Hydrometeorological Center. It was found that the relationship between environmental parameters and milk yield was weak concerning the increase in proportion to the growth of heat load. However, the factorial analysis indicated that the total influence of weather factors on milk yield, milk fat, and protein yield was 42-46%. Moreover, weather conditions could significantly impact dairy productivity when cows are kept in naturally ventilated barns. This suggests further investigation of issues related to the microclimate improvement in cowsheds in hot seasons using sprinkler systems for cooling dairy cows.

“…Direct emissions stem from enteric fermentation and manure management, while indirect emissions result from feed-production activities. These emissions include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) [17][18][19][20][21]. Methane (CH4) is the primary gaseous emission of concern originating from dairy cattle, which serves as a hydrogen reservoir within the rumen and is generated due to reducing carbon dioxide by methanogenic archaea [22].…”

“…The presence of uncertainties in production data can be attributed to two primary factors: the insufficiency of official statistics and the disparities in management practices among farms. When analysing potential strategies to reduce milk's carbon footprint (CF), it is crucial to possess a comprehensive understanding of the uncertainties and variations present in production data [36,18].…”

The global dairy industry is estimated to be worth billions of dollars, with India being the leading producer of dairy products. Milk is a vital source of nutrition, providing energy, protein, and essential micronutrients. It has been linked to various health benefits, such as improved bone health and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type-2 diabetes. However, the livestock industry also contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change. The carbon footprint of dairy products is measured by assessing the emissions of greenhouse gases throughout the production process. Methane emissions from enteric fermentation and manure management are the primary sources of emissions in the livestock sector. Strategies aimed at enhanced milk production, reducing animal mortality rates and enhancing reproductive performances can also help reduce emissions. To ensure long-term sustainability of the livestock production system, the Indian dairy cattle farming system must address key intervention areas such as feeding management, animal health and reproductive performance, and manure management to reduce its carbon footprint.
