Good housing is one of the key to success in management. Housing always remains to be a
significant challenge in health regulation of horses. Direction of the animal house
determines the amount of sunlight, wind and humidity entering the house, which thereby
exerts some influence on the health of the animal. This study was conducted to quantify
the effect of north and south faced housing system on the physiological indices (heart rate,
respiration rate, rectal temperature) of growing foals, during summer, (May-June 2017)
with ambient temperature and relative humidity as factors. A total of 12 foals, divided into
two groups, six in north facing house and six in south facing house was placed. Ambient
temperature (°C) and Relative humidity (%) were recorded daily at 08:00h and 14:00h and
all the physiological parameters of the foals placed in both houses were recorded
simultaneously; With ambient temperature as a factor, at 08:00h, all the physiological
indices increased significantly (p
