The present study was carried out at altitude of 3000 m above sea level (asl) to evaluate the impact of heat stress on yak adaptability. Sixteen healthy yaks of different age were randomly divided into two groups, calf (GI; n = 8) and adult (GII; n = 8). Experimental yaks were exposed to heat stress in the open paddock. THI ranged between 61.60 and 64.17 which were beyond the comfortable limit for yak. Post-exposure, rectal temperature increased (p < 0.01) by 2.97 °F and 2.42 °F in calf and adult yaks as compared to pre-exposure (100.08 ± 0.04 °F, 100.06 ± 0.05 °F). Respiration rate increased (p < 0.01) by 2.96 and 2.40 fold in calf and adult yaks with increased pulse rate on post-exposure to heat stress. The oscillatory patterns of physiological responses indicated that the level of heat stress increment was higher (p < 0.05) in calves than adult yaks. Plasma HSP70 increased (p < 0.01) by 7 fold in calf and 5 fold in adult yaks in comparison to pre-exposure level of 83.67 ± 1.11pg/ml and 80.65 ± 1.35 pg/ml. Thus, the yaks were experiencing heat stress at high altitude of 3000 m asl during the warmer months of the year and calves were more prone to heat stress as compared to adults. Not Available |
