Climate change poses significant challenges to livestock production worldwide. Wherein, it affects communities in developing nations primarily dependent on agriculture and animal husbandry. Its direct and indirect deleterious effects on agriculture and animal husbandry includes aberrant changes in weather patterns resulting in disturbed homeorhetic mechanism of livestock vis a vis indirectly affecting nutrient composition of feed and fodder.

- Global warming leads to heat stress (HS) in animals, reducing their nutrient absorption and metabolism, making antioxidants important for their health.
- This study investigated how different levels of dietary zinc (Zn) affected nutrient use and gene expression in rats exposed to heat stress.
- Results indicated that higher dietary Zn levels (48.9 ppm) improved nutrient absorption and gene expression related to zinc and stress responses, suggesting it could help mitigate the negative impacts of heat stress.
Background: Higher environmental temperature is a major abiotic stress factor for animals and human beings. The selenium (Se) is an important trace mineral having diverse health promoting effects under stress conditions. However, studies on dietary requirement of selenium under prolonged heat stress condition are lacking.

Methods: An in vitro ruminal evaluation of complete blocks (CFB) with (, leaves) and without ( hay) polyphenol rich plant leaves was conducted by applying Menke's in vitro gas production (IVGP) technique. A total of six substrates, viz.
