Evaporative cooling and cutaneous surface temperature of Holstein cows in tropical conditions Resfriamento evaporativo e temperatura cutânea de vacas Holandesas em ambiente tropical
The effects of skin temperature (T S) on the rate of heat loss by cutaneous evaporation (E S) in Holstein cows chronically exposed to sun, considering hair coat colour were studied.
