Even though studies investigating the effect of road transportation on haematological parameters in goats from temperate and hot tropical environments are numerous, few studies have focused on the recovery rate following transportation, especially in the hot, humid tropical environment. This study investigated the haematological parameters and oxidative stress response of goats subjected to 7 h...

Introduction Anhidrosis is a decreased ability to sweat in response to increased body temperature. It most often occurs in horses living in hot, humid climates like Florida and other Gulf coast states. It is an important problem for performance horses because thermoregulation is mainly accomplished by sweating in the horse. Between 65-70% of heat is lost via the evaporation of sweat and the hum...

The objective of this study was to examine interactions between climatic factors, parity, and weaning-to-first-mating interval (WMI) for total number of pigs born at subsequent parity (TPB) of female pigs serviced during 2 seasons. The present study analyzed records of 27,739 gilts and 127,670 parity records of sows in 95 Japanese herds; the records included females that were serviced between J...

Thermal adaptation studies provide researchers great insight to help understand how people respond to thermal discomfort. This research aims to assess outdoor urban plaza conditions in hot and humid regions of Asia by conducting an evaluation of thermal adaptation. We also propose that questionnaire items are appropriate for determining thermal adaptation strategies adopted by urban plaza users...

The accuracy of core temperature (Tc) thermometry from temporal, tympanic, and oral thermometry devices has been variable during exercise in a hot, humid environment. The purpose of the present study was to cross-validate temporal, two tympanic devices, and oral devices compared to an ingestible thermistor during exercise in a hot, humid environment. Fourteen young, active adults (6 women) comp...

Analysis of brucellosis epidemics in ships of the Mediterranean fleet in the nineteenth century are most easily explained by aerosol transmission in grossly overcrowded, hot and humid confined spaces.

BACKGROUND Heat stress adversely affects the physiological and metabolic status, and the productive performance of buffalo. METHODS The present study was conducted to explicate the effect of misting and wallowing cooling strategies during heat stress in lactating Murrah buffalo. The study was conducted for three months (May-July) of which first two months were hot dry and last month was hot h...
