Abstract
In the changing climate scenario, heat stress is the most
detrimental factor which negatively influences livestock
production. This may lead to severe #economicconsequences in
#livestock industry. The negative impacts of high temperature stress
are generally aggravated when it is coupled with high #relativehumidity. Every animal produce optimally under its own #thermoneutralzone. Different factors of climate such as air #temperature,
humidity, wind #velocity, and solar radiation have prominent effect
in influencing the #homeostasis in animals. The interaction of these
climate variables and the animal #biologicalsystem lead to drastic
changes in the production performance of the animal. This has
paved the way for the scientific community to look for a range
of thermal indices to specific locations to quantify heat stress
response in livestock.
