| Sumario: | During the summer months (January and February), in the automated dairy farm with a refrigeration system of the National Institute of Agricultural Technology (INTA) Rafaela, an observational study was carried out with the objective of registering thermoregulatory behaviors in high production dairy cows. . Twenty multiparous cows were selected to monitor lying, standing, rumination and locomotion behaviors. In situ temperature and humidity were recorded to estimate the temperature and humidity index. With this index, the days were characterized as severe and warm. The results were statistically analyzed with the Chi-square test. It can be inferred that, despite the fact that the system has environmental modifications (ventilation, spray and/or combination), only 31 and 49 % of the cows spent time ruminating and lying down ruminating. |
