Differences in Thermoregulatory Responses between Dorper and Second Cross Lambs to Heat Stress Challenges

Differences in Thermoregulatory Responses between Dorper and Second Cross Lambs to Heat Stress Challenges

We compared the thermotolerance of Dorper (D) and second cross (SC) (Poll Dorset x Merino/Border Leicester) lambs by assessing physiological and biochemical responses. After acclimatization, 4–5 month old lambs of each breed were exposed to either thermo-neutral (18 °C–21 °C, 40%–50% RH, n = 12/grou...
