    Time budgets (h/d) for 14 cows across 4 filming sessions (S1 to S4) in order of lowest (S3) to highest mean temperature-humidity index (S4) demonstrating the change in activity components that make up total daily standing time. Activity: TUM = time milking, TUW = time drinking, TUF = time feeding, TUIS = time standing up in the stall, TUIA = time standing up in the alley, and TDIS = time lying down in the stall.
