These indicate that lactating dairy cows grazing summer pastures experience severe HS, compromising their welfare and leading to some changes in behaviour such as suspension of grazing and jumping into water troughs. Most cows stopped grazing, sought shade, panted and spent more time at the watering points. All these parameters were significantly affected by high-temperature-humidity conditions with a significant drop in milk production. We followed the cows during the entire summer period (December 2018–February 2019) and measured the effect of high temperature and humidity on physiological variables such as respiratory rate, panting scores and body temperature. In this study, we investigated the effect of summer heat events on lactating Holstein Friesian cows at the Robotic milking farm of the University of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. Heat stress (HS) is a major challenge for sustainable livestock production, which compromises animal welfare and performance during the hot summer months, leading to multibillion-dollar losses to the global livestock industries.

That is why I am writing this story…I know who killed Rachel, but I do not know how my dear Ambrose died. I also liked how he invites us to ask this question in the first chapter of the book: “My dear cousin Ambrose is dead. we may know that Rachel is the villain of our sorry beforehand), there is always that question of “what will Philip do to stop her?”.
