Abstract

Data from Tabkwang Research and Breeding Centre, Department of Livestock Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives, during 1993–1999, were used to determine the effect of climatic conditions on production performance of Australian Friesian Sahiwal Appendix-3 (AFS3) cows. The results revealed that summer had the highest THI (P<0.05) while winter had the lowest THI (P<0.05). The AFS3 cows had the lowest productive performance during summer in Thailand.
