the study was conducted to demonstrate expression profile of cold shock protein genes; cold inducible rna binding protein (cirp) and rna binding motif protein 3 (rbm3) in goats (capra hircus) during different seasons to check the gene expression in different thermal conditions. blood samples were collected from healthy goats of tropical and temperate region during peak winter, moderate season a...

Studies on daily rhythmicity in livestock under natural conditions are limited, and there is mounting evidence that rhythm patterns differ between chronobiological studies conducted in the laboratory and studies conducted under pronounced natural seasonality. Here, we investigated the influence of cold-dry (harmattan) and hot-dry seasons on daily rhythmicity of rectal (RT) and body surface temp...
