Effect of high temperatures on animal production

• High temperature stresses animals and reduces feed intake hence low production
• Stress caused by high temperature influences the protein and fat composition of milk or milk quality.
• High temperature promote growth of parasites and some disease causative organism thereby decreasing animal production
• High temperature cause high water losses from animals causing increased water intake
• Libido is encouraged in female animals at high temperature
• High temperature reduce spermatogenesis and low production
• Power output is reduced in work animals due to tress at high temperature
