- Bioclimatic Zoning and Climate Change Impacts on Dairy Cattle in Maranhão, Brazil (2025) · Animals · cited 9× · doi
There is a lack of region-specific interventions and efficient resource allocation in livestock systems. The study identifies a need for bioclimatic zoning to support informed policymaking in the context of climate change. The research highlights the importance of assessing heat load and optimizing thermal stress management in herds.
