摘要: Sheep rearing is the most integral part of animal production particularly in tropical regions. Climate change observed to have devastating effects on sheep farming through constraints such as heat stress, lower grazing lands, water scarcity and higher pest disease incidences. These environmental may lead compromised productive functions sheep. The cumulative heat, nutritional walking stress occurring hotter parts year compromise reproductive performances reduced feed intake, modified endocrine profile, rumination nutrient absorption maintenance demands.
