Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of heat stress on animal physiology, metabolism, and meat quality: A review.
P. A. Gonzalez-Rivas,Surinder S Chauhan,Minh Ha,Narelle Fegan,Frank R. Dunshea,Robyn D. Warner +5 more
TL;DR: The scientific evidence regarding the effects of heat stress on livestock physiology and metabolism, and their consequences for meat quality and safety are discussed.
Book ChapterDOI
Nutritional strategies to alleviate heat stress in pigs
Frank R. Dunshea,P. A. Gonzalez-Rivas,Alex Tsungyu Hung,K. DiGiacomo,Surinder S Chauhan,Surinder S Chauhan,Brian J Leury,P. P. Celi,Eric N. Ponnampalam,Jeremy J Cottrell +9 more
TL;DR: This chapter is an attempt to review different viable nutritional strategies to ameliorate heat stress in sheep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of feeding slowly fermentable grains on productive variables and amelioration of heat stress in lactating dairy cows in a sub-tropical summer.
P. A. Gonzalez-Rivas,M. L. Sullivan,Jeremy J Cottrell,Brian J Leury,John B. Gaughan,Frank R. Dunshea +5 more
TL;DR: In summary, feeding TMRC ameliorated HS as indicated by lower RT and improved MP in dairy cows, and milk production was improved with starch-binding agents; however, this was not associated with efficient thermoregulatory responses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Feeding slowly fermentable grains has the potential to ameliorate heat stress in grain-fed wethers
P. A. Gonzalez-Rivas,K. DiGiacomo,V. M. Russo,Brian J Leury,Jeremy J Cottrell,Frank R. Dunshea +5 more
TL;DR: Feeding CD was demonstrated that feeding CD may be a useful management strategy to reduce the impact of high environmental heat loads in sheep, and this benefit was greatest during HS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reducing rumen starch fermentation of wheat with three percent sodium hydroxide has the potential to ameliorate the effect of heat stress in grain-fed wethers,
P. A. Gonzalez-Rivas,K. DiGiacomo,P. A. Giraldo,Brian J Leury,Jeremy J Cottrell,Frank R. Dunshea +5 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that the slow rate of rumen fermentation of CD and TWD can reduce the heat released during feed fermentation in the rumen, improving heat tolerance in sheep.
