Strategies to Reduce Stress

Dairy cattle can be affected in many ways by various types of stressors in their lifetime. Some of these stressors include temperature, living conditions, feeding management and others (Villamediana, 2022). The stress can cause a cow to have a decreased milk production, changes in body weight, increased risk of infections, diseases, and others.
