Digestive, metabolic and production responses to cold stress

Although much work has been conducted to examine the effects of heat stress and other environmental factors on animal physiology and production, cold stress effects have not been widely researched. Here we look at some of the findings. The following is a review of the limited work conducted in this area, with particular reference to the digestive physiology and metabolism of cold-stressed cattle and their production response to such adverse condition. Management and feeding strategies to be ado
