Livestock Production Science 

TL;DR: A review of factors influencing heat stress in lactating dairy cows and how it affects milk production is provided in this article, where the thermoneutral zone, heat production and heat gain, heat dissipation mechanisms, and how the lactating cow responds to heat stress are discussed.

TL;DR: The major factors implicated in the aetiology of marked changes to the histology and biochemistry of the small intestine, such as villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia, which cause decreased digestive and absorptive capacity and contribute to post-weaning diarrhoea are outlined.

TL;DR: A biological explanation for the occurrence of negative side effects of selection is presented and future application of modern reproduction and DNA-techniques in animal breeding may increase production levels even faster than at present, which may result in more dramatic consequences for behavioural, physiological and immunological traits.

TL;DR: This review concerns the heat stress–strain response of domestic ruminants from the viewpoint of animal welfare and physiological, hormonal, and behavioral thermoregulatory responses are discussed in respect to animal welfare.

TL;DR: Fatty acid profile was effective in the identification of lamb feeding systems and was affected by genotype, feeding system and slaughter weight.
