Genes and models for estimating genetic parameters for heat tolerance in dairy cattle

Genes and models for estimating genetic parameters for heat tolerance in dairy cattle

Dairy cattle are highly susceptible to heat stress. Heat stress causes a decline in milk yield, reduced dry matter intake, reduced fertility rates, and alteration of physiological traits (e.g., respiration rate, rectal temperature, heart rates, pulse rates, panting score, sweating rates, and droolin...
