Assessment of phenotypes, physiological and behavioural responses associated with heat tolerance among Galla goats in North Eastern Kenya.

Galla goats have great adaptation vigor to different environments. However, the outcomes of ongoing climate change subjected livestock including harsh environmental conditions like high ambient temperatures. In this study, were characterized in selected areas based on phenotypic, physiological, and behavioural responses temperature. One hundred forty-nine from Isiolo, Garissa Tana River scored for various features such as coat colour, horn skin shape, length, ear orientation, wattles circumference. Data collected entered an excel spread sheet then analyzed R statistical software version 4.0.4. White was found be dominant colour with a percentage frequency greater than 60.0% studied counties. The study revealed that both male female possess horns more 88.9% being horned across three There strong relationship between presence temperature p=0.05. A positive correlation also observed rectal temperature, length findings show important gene pool which guidelines conservation heat stress phenotypes result can put place.
