dc.description.abstract | The effect of heat stress on the estrous behavior of dairy cows is a critical factor influencing
reproductive efficiency in livestock management. Heat stress disrupts the physiological and
hormonal balance of cows, leading to reduced expression of estrous behaviors, which are
essential for successful insemination and reproduction
Estrous activity was monitored using hormonal assays during periods of varying heat stress
conditions. Data analysis revealed a significant correlation between elevated THI levels and
decreased estrous behavior, including reduced mounting activity, lower physical movement,
and shorter estrous duration. | en_US |
