Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana M Geraldo"
Ana M Geraldo's research primarily focuses on the physiological responses of cattle to heat stress, examining how different breeds manage evaporative heat loss in varying temperature conditions.
In her 2014 study, she specifically compared two Portuguese cattle breeds (Alentejana and Mertolenga) with two exotic breeds (Frisian and Limousine) to assess their responses to increasing ambient temperatures.
The findings indicated significant differences in evaporative heat loss mechanisms among the breeds, contributing to our understanding of cattle adaptability to thermal stress environments.
