“…This suggested that fermented HTR could alleviate heat stress symptoms of fattening cattle in summer, which is consistent with the results of other studies [36-38]. Chen found that Chinese herbal medicine could reduce signi cantly the RR of beef cattle under heat stress [37]. Song found that Chinese herbal medicine could reduce the RT for a certain period of time under high temperature [36].…”

“…Our ndings showed that the thyroid function of beef cattle decreased and the amount of T4 secreted by the thyroid gland decreased, thus reducing heat production and improving the body's adaptability to the thermal environment. Chen and other researchers applied Chinese herbal medicine to heat stressed beef cattle, and also found that the level of T4 decreased, demonstrating that Chinese herbal medicine can alleviate the heat stress of beef cattle [37].…”

Background: Herbal tea residue (HTR) is generally considered to be the waste of herbal tea beverage production while it still retains rich nutrients and active substances. The main aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of fermentation technology on improving the quality of HTRs, and focus on the fermented HTR-induced alleviation of summer heat stress in fattening cattle.Results: In this study, the waste HTR was fermented and then fed to a total of 45 fattening cattles that were divided into 3 groups (fermented HTR replaced 0%, 15%, 30% of Pennisetum purpureum respectively), and the feeding experiment was lasted for 40 days. The physiological indexes, growth performance and fecal microorganisms of fattening cattle were evaluated and results showed that fermented HTR could effectively reduce the respiratory rate and rectal temperature of fattening cattle under heat stress, increase the daily feed intake and daily gain, and improve the antioxidant content and blood immune index. In addition, we studied the fecal microorganisms composition of 6 fattening cattles in each group and found fermented HTR significantly changed the composition of fecal microorganisms and increased microbial diversity, and correlation analysis suggested that the bacteria were closely related to fecal SCFA levels of fattening cattle under heat stress. Conclusions: we suggested that 30% of fermented HTR can help maintain health of fattening cattle and alleviate the heat stress of fattening cattle by the change of intestine microorganisms.

Results In this study, the waste HTR was fermented and then fed to a total of 45 fattening cattle that were divided into 3 groups (fermented HTR replaced 0, 15, 30% of the forage component of the diet), and the feeding experiment was lasted for 40 days. The physiological indexes, growth performance and fecal microbiota of fattening cattle were evaluated and results showed that fermented HTR could effectively reduce the respiratory rate and rectal temperature of fattening cattle under heat stress, increase the daily feed intake and daily gain, and improve the antioxidant content and blood immune index. In addition, we studied the fecal microbiota composition of 6 fattening cattle in control and 30% HTR substitution groups and found fermented HTR significantly changed the composition of fecal microbiota and increased microbial diversity, and correlation analysis suggested that the bacteria were closely related to fecal SCFA levels of fattening cattle under heat stress. Conclusions In this study, fermented HTR replaced 30% of the forage component of the diet that can change the intestine microorganisms, maintain health and alleviate the heat stress of fattening cattle.

“…Body temperature must be kept within physiological limits of the animal to stay healthy and productive. High ambient temperatures along with low wind speeds can cause heat stress in animals, resulting in decreased growth, poor health, or even death (Chen et al, 2020). As a result, animals must adapt to their surroundings in order to produce more and better.…”

Background: Heat stress in animals can occur when ambient temperatures are high and wind speeds are low, resulting in diminished growth, poor health, or even death. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Tinospora cordifolia (TC) on anti-stress and blood biochemical parameters in heat stressed (HS) Gaddi goats. Methods: Sixteen adult male Gaddi goats were split into four groups, T0H0 (no supplement no HS, control), T1H0 (diet fed with TC stem powder @ 5% of DMI with no HS), T0H1 (no supplement with HS) and T1H1 (diet fed with TC stem powder @ 5% of DMI with HS). The study was planned in a 2×2 factorial degin, with supplemetation TC stem powder (0 per cent vs. 5 per cent) and heat stress (normal vs. heat exposure) were the key effects to be studied over the 30-d trial period. Result: There was a significant interaction (supplement×stress×period) for oxidative stress indices. At the end of the experiment, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and cortisol levels were higher in the T0H1 group goats than in the T1H1 group (similar to normal levels). The blood’s hematological and biochemical characteristics were equivalent among groups. However, after a 30-d trail, Hb and PCV levels in the blood were low in the stressed group. It can be culminated that, there was no significant change in hematological and blood biochemical parameters across groups, however animals’ antioxidant status were improved.
