On the basis of the values of temperature and moisture for one year, an experimental cowshed (80 cows) on the border of the Syriain semidesert was investigated using a new evaluation scheme. The assessment was made according to three ranges of physiological compatibility. Essential deficiencies were found in the construction and in the function of the cowshed. Using the relevant literature (see part 1) on this subject, the paper tries to show that such conditions must be detremental to the performance of European cattle breeds. If cattle stay for a long time in temperature regions above the physiological compatibility range, damages to the health must also be expected in non-adapted and local breeds. Suitable devices must be built into the cowsheds to enable release of warmth from the cattle kept there. Improvements in the climate of the cowshed are part of the complex measure for increasing the performance. The paper tries to stimulate more intensive studies of the climate and its effect on the performance in animal production for other regions and countries as well.
根据一年的温度和湿度值，采用一种新的评估方案对叙利亚半沙漠边缘的一个实验性牛棚（80头牛）进行了调查。评估是根据三个生理适应范围进行的。在牛棚的建造和功能方面发现了一些基本缺陷。本文利用关于该主题的相关文献（见第1部分），试图表明这种条件必然会对欧洲牛品种的性能产生不利影响。如果牛在高于生理适应范围的温度区域停留很长时间，非适应性和本地品种也必然会出现健康损害。必须在牛棚中安装合适的装置，以使牛释放出热量。改善牛棚气候是提高生产性能综合措施的一部分。本文还试图推动对其他地区和国家动物生产中的气候及其对生产性能影响的更深入研究。
