Abstract: Climate change is a global problem with an important influence on farm animals, so the entire veterinary medical industry is working to combat the effects of heat stress. In recent years, global warming has been correlated with physiological changes in adaptation that lead to a decrease in milk production and quality. We have chosen to study these mechanisms that are based on hormonal imbalances (LH, TSH, and prolactin) and general imbalances (apathy and lack of appetite).
