The impact of heat stress on growth and resilience phenotypes of sheep raised in a semi-arid environment of sub-Saharan Africa
Sheep production in Arid and Semi-Arid lands face immense heat stress with the changing climate. This study assessed the effect of heat stress on growth and developed resilience phenotypes of sheep raised in a semi-arid environment. Heat stress was measured by Temperature-Humidity Index (THI).
