Elevated ambient temperatures affect animal production and welfare. Animal's reduced
production performances during heat stress were traditionally thought to result from the …

The exposure of sheep to elevated ambient temperatures induces an increase in the
dissipation of excess body heat, in order to negate the excessive heat load. Dissipation of …

This chapter provides an overview of the impact of climate change on livestock production
and its adaptation and mitigation. Animal agriculture is the major contributor to increasing …

A study was conducted to assess the effect of combined stresses (thermal and nutritional) on
physiological adaptability and growth performance of Malpura ewes. Twenty-eight adult …

The experiment was conducted with an intent to know the effect of different farming systems
on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility coefficients, reproductive traits, disease …

The study was conducted to develop a simulated heat stress model for sheep depicting
natural environmental conditions and to observe its impact on growth, reproductive …

The optimal environments for ruminants are air temperatures between 13 and 20° C, winds
between 5 and 18 km/h, humidity levels between 55 and 65%, and a moderate amount of …

Sheep production is looked upon as the primary meat industry in the future due to
production efficiency of mutton and adaptability of the sheep to changing climate. More than …

A 45-day study was conducted where the primary objective was to evaluate the effect of
simultaneously imposed multiple stressors (thermal, nutritional, and walking) on the …

Each farm animal species has its own physiological comfort zone, in which energy
expenditure was at minimal level, constant and independent ofambient temperature. When …
