This study aimed to characterize age-dependent adaptations to progressive summer HS by evaluating changes in triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), cortisol (CORT), and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and their relationship to daily average milk yield (DAMY). …
Abstract / descriptionThis study aimed to characterize age-dependent adaptations to progressive summer HS by evaluating changes in triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), cortisol (CORT), and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70), and their relationship to daily average milk yield (DAMY). We hypothesized that increasing temperature–humidity index (THI) would suppress T3 and T4, moderately elevate CORT, and stimulate HSP70 expression, particularly in young goats.
