Environmental Physiology of Livestock

Environmental Physiology of Livestock

A research-focused reference on how environmental stress, particularly heat stress and climate change, affects livestock physiology, health, productivity, metabolism, reproduction, and genetic expression. It examines physiological responses and strategies for managing environmental challenges in livestock production.
