A study published in Science Advances reveals that extreme heat can reduce milk production by 10% for dairy cows, with effects lasting over a week. Researchers from Israel found that even advanced cooling systems only partially mitigate losses. The study predicts that without cooling, global milk yields could decline by 4% by the mid-21st century, with countries like India and Brazil facing even steeper drops. The research emphasizes the need for better adaptation strategies and broader reforms to support farmers in hot climates. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
