Abstract

Assessment of the level of thermal stress (TS) in animals exposed to adverse weather helps to formulate and implement alleviation measures. Present study was to identify the presence and seasonal pattern of serum factors to be used as biological indicators for early detection of TS in animals. The year-round study involved eight cows each at a time, belonging 28 to 91 days postpartum, and replaced two cows every month. Analyzed the levels of Heat shock protein 70 (HSP 70) and cortisol in serum samples collected at weekly intervals and assessed the seasonal pattern and correlation with weather parameters. While minimum temperature (MnT) of the region varied significantly (P
