The role of genetics in understanding and improving heat tolerance in tropical African livestock
Heat stress (HS) causes a decline in the productivity of livestock through reduced dry matter intake, decreased reproduction rate and adverse effects on the physiological state (e.g., respiration rate, rectal temperature, heart rates, pulse rates, panting score, sweating rates, and drooling score)....
