The effects of skin temperature (TS) on the rate of heat loss by cutaneous evaporation (ES) in Holstein cows chronically exposed to sun, considering hair coat colour were studied. Sixteen purebred cows were measured for ES and TS at 01:00 p.m. after 6 hours of exposure to sun, on three body regions (flank, neck and gluteus) and considering dark and white spots separately. Sweating rate (S) and ES were measured by means of a ventilated capsule. Black skin areas presented […]
