Environmental stress is one of the most significant factors
affecting livestock performance and health, and it is only expected
to increase with effects of global warming. Environmental
Physiology of Livestock brings together the latest research on
environmental physiology, summarizing progress in the field and
providing directions for future research. Recent developments in
estimating heat stress loads are discussed, as well as key studies
in metabolism, reproduction, and genetic expressions.
Environmental Physiology of Livestock begins with a
survey of current heat indexing tools, highlighting recent
discoveries in animal physiology, changes in productivity levels,
and new technologies available to better estimate stress response.
Using this synopsis as a point of orientation, later chapters hone
in on major effects of heat stress, including changing metabolic
pathways and nutrient requirements, endocrine regulation of
acclimation to environmental stress, and reduced reproductive
performance. The text concludes with a thorough discussion of
environmental effects on gene expressions, providing important
insight for future breeding practices.
Environmental Physiology of Livestock is a globally
contributed volume and a key resource for animal science
researchers, geneticists, and breeders.
