Heat stress significantly increased respiratory rate in Florida Cracker ewes compared to cooled controls.
Metabolomics identified 19 differentially abundant metabolites in the heat-stressed group, highlighting metabolic changes.
Hematological analysis revealed an increase in neutrophil count and decrease in lymphocyte percentage during heat stress.
Pathway analysis showed upregulation of key metabolic pathways related to fatty acids and amino acids in heat-stressed ewes.
