The detrimental effects of heat stress (HS) on animal productivity have been well
documented. However, whether in utero HS interacts with a future thermal insult to alter …

Heat stress (HS) is a multi-factorial problem that negatively affects livestock health and
productivity and is closely linked with animal welfare. While HS may not be harmful when …

Postnatal heat stress (HS) effects on pig physiology and performance are widely studied but
prenatal HS studies, albeit increasing, are still limited. The objective of this study was to …

Environmentally induced heat stress (HS) negatively influences production variables in
agriculturally important species. However, the extent to which HS experienced in utero …

The study objectives were to test the hypothesis that heat stress (HS) during gestational
development alters postnatal growth, body composition, and biological response to HS …

ABSTRACT: Postnatal heat stress negatively impacts pig productivity and well-being as
animals attempt to manage the resultant strain response. This is especially true when …

The prenatal environment influences offspring health and development, and this is readily
apparent when considering the well-described effects of maternal nutrition and stress on the …
