Description

Heat stress during the summer season hamper the reproductive and productive performance of farm animals by causing physiological (hormonal imbalance, decreased oocyte and semen quality, and decreased embryo development) changes, decrease in feed intake, and development of negative energy balance. The effects of heat stress on farm animals can be minimized via adapting suitable scientific strategies comprising physical modifications of the environment, feeding management, breeding management, and housing management of farm animals.
