What is meisner indeksi?

Meisner Index is a tool used to measure heat stress in livestock, especially in dairy cows. It is a combination of three parameters - ambient temperature, relative humidity, and air movement. Meisner Index is calculated as follows:

Meisner Index = (0.8 x Dry Bulb Temperature) + (0.01 x Wind Speed) x [(0.99 x Dry Bulb Temperature) - 14.3] + ((1.4 x Wet Bulb Temperature) - (0.02 x Wind Speed) x ((1.4 x Wet Bulb Temperature) - (0.2 x Dry Bulb Temperature) - 19.5]

The Meisner Index value is used to determine the risk of heat stress in cows. Generally, a Meisner Index value above 78 indicates a high risk of heat stress, and cows are likely to suffer from reduced milk production, infertility, and other health problems. Therefore, it is important to monitor Meisner Index regularly during hot weather and take appropriate measures to reduce heat stress in cows, such as providing shade, cooling systems, and adequate water supply.
