The present investigation was conducted to study the effect of Temperature-Humidity Index (THI)
and find suitable nutrient supplement to combat its adverse effect. Twenty four Deccani female sheep
were divided randomly into four groups of similar overall body weight (viz., Control (C), T1 (3ml of 10% Zinc
Sulphate), T2 (1ml of 0.1% Selenium) and T3 (60mg Vitamin E daily)) and reared under semi-intensive
conditions at Hayathnagar Research Farm of ICAR-Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture,
Hyderabad, India between December, 2013 to June, 2014. Various physical, physiological, biochemical
and bio-molecular parameters were significantly correlated with THI. Superior body weight and lowered
physiological response, plasma enzymes (ALP, SGOT and SGPT) and metabolites (Urea and creatinine)
was observed in supplemented groups than control. Significantly superior plasma levels of nutrients and
electrolytes (Na+, Cl-, K+, Ca and P) in supplemented groups suggested better availability of nutrients in
supplemented animals. In THI-wise analysis (group-I: T60%),
performance of supplemented group of animals was superior than that of control animals in terms of
attaining superior body weight, maintaining physiological limits, plasma minerals, enzymes, cortisol,
nutrients and blood metabolites. Study under present circumstances suggests that supplementing sheep
with Zn, Se and Vit. E can built up thermo-tolerance in small ruminants and may help in coping the
seasonal stress.
