Many thermal indices have been developed to assess the levels of heat stress imposed on cattle during hot weather. In this paper, the 16 cattle-related thermal indices are critically reviewed. The primary emphasis is to evaluate each index's coherence to the typical heat transfer characteristics of a cow.

Thermal stress imposed on cows adversely affects health and productivity. Various thermal indices exist in the literature that can be used to assess the level of heat stress on cattle by linking environmental conditions with physiological responses. However, many of these indices either do not incorporate all of the environmental variables or may consider only the main effects of the independent variables without considering the interaction effects.
