This work investigates the influence that some climatic parameters such as Environment Temperature, Relative Humidity, Thermal excursion and Temperature\u2013Humidity Index (THI), can have on milk quantity and quality in two different dairy species (buffaloes and cows) raised on the same farm. A further aim was to understand if THI threshold used for cows could also be used for buffaloes. The climatic parameters were recorded daily through a meteorological station located inside the farm. Milk quantity (converted into ECM) and quality (Fat Percentage\u2014FP; Protein Percentage\u2014PP; Somatic Cell Count\u2014SCC) were measured. Data were analyzed with Spearman\u2019s correlation index, separately for buffaloes and cows. The results indicate a greater sensitivity of cows to heat stress and a strong negative correlation of the ECM with meteorological data (p < 0.01). The results of this study may stimulate the use of integrated technologies (sensors, software) in the dairy sector, since the IoT (sensors, software) helps to enhance animal well-being and to optimize process costs, with a precision livestock farming approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24041164","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,12]],"date-time":"2024-02-12T08:50:27Z","timestamp":1707727827000},"page":"1164","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Investigation of Climate Effects on the Physiological Parameters of Dairy Livestock (Cow vs. Buffalo)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4731-7510","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nadia","family":"Piscopo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production, Federico II University, 80137 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2204-0022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberta","family":"Matera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production, Federico II University, 80137 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5279-9577","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alessio","family":"Cotticelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production, Federico II University, 80137 Naples, Italy"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Trapanese","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technologies, Federico II University, 80125 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0130-7915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oscar","family":"Tamburis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Biostructures and Bioimaging National Research Council, 80145 Naples, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0146-1787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberta","family":"Cimmino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associazione Nazionale Allevatori Specie Bufalina (ANASB), 81100 Caserta, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2199-7092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angela","family":"Salzano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Production, Federico II University, 80137 Naples, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.2527\/af.2017.0102","article-title":"General Introduction to Precision Livestock Farming","volume":"7","author":"Berckmans","year":"2017","journal-title":"Anim.
