Abstract
Heat Tolerance in Attappaddy Black does Reared under Hot Humid Tropical Environment
An experiment was conducted to assess the adaptability of Attappady black does to summer heat stress under humid tropical climate of Kerala. The adaptability to heat stress was measured in terms of variations in physiological responses, haematological parameters, feed and water intake, and growth traits.
