The presented article introduces the issues of adaptation and acclimatization of the introduced Holstein breed in the intensive farming zone of the Kakheti region in Georgia. In particular, the results of the research regarding the factors that are foremost for the Holstein breed’s successful breeding in the local natural climate conditions are highlighted.
Specifically, physiological indicators of adaptation, clinical status, and milk productivity after giving birth based on data from three lactations and milk composition were studied on cattle introduced during our study. We also studied the indicators of food convention.
Based on the results obtained from the research and the conclusions drawn, practical suggestions and recommendations were developed for the correct management of fodder nutrition for the cows during heat stress. This is a valuable material for farmers and enables them to conduct targeted activities effectively.
