Effects of seasonal chronic heat stress on body thermoregulation, cortisol release and uterine health in postpartum native Alentejana and Mertolenga beef cattle

Effects of seasonal chronic heat stress on body thermoregulation, cortisol release and uterine health in postpartum native Alentejana and Mertolenga beef cattle

Abstract Selection towards resilience to heat is a main goal to mitigate Heat Stress (HS) effects. Resilient breeds entail a genetic pool to uncover novel thermoregulatory mechanisms. This study evaluated the response to seasonal chronic HS and mechanisms behind thermo-resistance in two heat-resilie...
