Effect of shadow availability at pasture on reproductive traits of Nelore bulls (Bos indicus) raised in southeastern Brazil
Solar radiation is responsible for bull body temperature elevation. An alternative to minimize heat stress is to use artificial shade. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of thermal stress reduction, through shade availability, on reproductive characteristics of Nellore bulls (Bos indicus)...
