Description

Qingshan Ma and co-authors review heat stress in dairy cattle in a 2026 paper. Heat is one of the costliest weather threats to milk output worldwide. It cuts yield, harms milk quality, and damages the udder at the cell level.

A heat index marks where harm begins, and the limit differs by breed. At the gene level, heat switches on protective heat shock genes while switching off milk protein and fat genes. The review traces those paths and the breeding signs of heat tolerance. Farmers and breeders get a combined view of management and genetics for a warming world.
