Webinar today for heat stress and production
Farmers are encouraged to link up to a webinar being held today – Heat Stress and Milk Production: a literature review and an analysis of eastern Australian data. The webinar will be held at noon. Dr Rachelle Meyer, will discuss two projects she has been involved in on milk production and heat stress.
The first is a bibliographic network analysis and a systematic literature review of peerreviewed papers focusing on milk production and heat stress.
The systematic review addresses sources of variation in the impact of heat stress on milk production including differences in methodologies and treatments investigated.
Following that, analysis of a database of milk tanker pickups paired with BOM weather station data from the early 1990s to 2017 and from farms in Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria will be presented.
The primary focus will be the differences in the response to heat stress between states and seasons, as well as the THI measures that are best correlated with milk production.
Rachelle Meyer's research interests include agricultural adaptation and mitigation. She completed her PhD in 2017.
