Assessment of cold stress in crossbred cattle by wind chill temperature index

In the present experiment we studied the effect of cold stress as assessed by Wind Chill Temperature (WCT) on physiological, hemato-biochemical, behavioural parameters and milk production of crossbred cattle. The study spanned for a period of 14 weeks (November to March) with WCT range of 13.51±1.09...

Description
Summary:In the present experiment we studied the effect of cold stress as assessed by Wind Chill Temperature (WCT) on physiological, hemato-biochemical, behavioural parameters and milk production of crossbred cattle. The study spanned for a period of 14 weeks (November to March) with WCT range of 13.51±1.09 to 5.67±0.51. The rectal temperature (°C) and respiration rate (p
