The optimal range for the Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) (which combines temperature and humidity) for dairy cows is generally between 41°F (5°C) and 77°F (25°C). Within this range, the ideal combination is a temperature of about -5 to 20°C (23-68°F) with 40–80% relative humidity, as higher THI values indicate conditions that cause heat stress, negatively affecting milk yield and cow well-being.

The best temperature for storing cow milk is between 34°F and 39°F (1°C and 4°C). Maintaining milk within this cold range is crucial because it significantly slows the growth of bacteria that cause spoilage. When milk is stored at temperatures above 40°F (4.4°C), bacterial growth accelerates, leading to a sour taste and curdled texture.
Humidity isn’t a primary concern for milk itself since it’s typically stored in sealed containers. However, for a cold storage room where milk is kept, a relative humidity between 80% and 90% is ideal. This level helps prevent the milk packaging from drying out and maintains the quality of the products stored inside. High ambient humidity can accelerate the spoilage of food products, including milk, especially if the container isn’t sealed properly, as it encourages bacterial and fungal growth.The best temperature for storing cow milk is between 34°F and 39°F (1°C and 4°C).

does sour taste also depends on grain feeding or acidosis?
