022 Correlation between blood proteins and physiological parameters in beef calves under heat stress

Abstract

An abstract of a study by Kim et al determining the effect of heat stress on blood proteins and identifying the role of proteins through a correlation analysis between blood proteins and physiological parameters is presented. Results show that blood proteins (haptoglobin and heat shock protein 70) change under heat stress, which may exert an anti-inflammatory action and protect cells from heat stress damage. Also, blood proteins were used as indexes for the regulation of animal body homeostasis, which is closely associated with physiological parameters in beef calves under heat stress. In addition, these blood proteins can be consolidated to develop a temperature-humidity index chart.
