Impact of extended lairage periods on physio-metabolic status and meat quality in commercial broilers.

1. This study investigated the impact of different lairage duration on physiology, metabolism and meat quality in commercial broilers.2.

Heat stress in dairy animals and current milk production trends, economics, and future perspectives: the global scenario.

Animal's well-being, growth, and production are modulated by environmental conditions, and managemental practices and can be deleteriously affected by global warming phenomenon. In the recent years, unprecedented climatic fluctuations like sustained higher temperatures and humidity, heat waves, and solar flares have led to economic losses in $ billions to both milk and meat industry. It is estimated that by 2050, the US dairy industry alone will borne more than $1.

Effect of Simulated Heat Stress on Digestibility, Methane Emission and Metabolic Adaptability in Crossbred Cattle.

The present experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of simulated heat stress on digestibility and methane (CH) emission. Four non-lactating crossbred cattle were exposed to 25°C, 30°C, 35°C, and 40°C temperature with a relative humidity of 40% to 50% in a climatic chamber from 10:00 hours to 15:00 hours every day for 27 days. The physiological responses were recorded at 15:00 hours every day.
