Effects of Cold Exposure on Some Physiological, Productive, and Metabolic Variables in Lactating Dairy Goats

Low winter temperatures in some regions have a negative impact on animal performance, behavior, and welfare. The objective of this study was to evaluate some physiological, metabolic, and lactational responses of dairy goats exposed to cold …

Heat stress affects some physiological and productive variables and alters metabolism in dairy ewes

Heat stress (HS) has a significant economic impact on the global dairy industry. However, the mechanisms by which HS negatively affects metabolism and milk synthesis in dairy ewes are not well defined. This study evaluated the production and …

1H NMR-based blood metabolomics in cold-stressed dairy goats

The objective was to identify possible biomarkers of cold stress in blood of dairy goats. Eight lactating Murciano-Granadina dairy goats (2.13 ± 0.36 L/d; 70 ± 2 DIM; 41.75 ± 2.02 kg body weight) were maintained under 2 environmental conditions …
