Abstract
Description
In this
study, we attempted to examine the ability of Nigerian zebu cattle to cope with
changing effect of climate especially thermal assaults/heat stress. Heat shock
protein (HSP) 90 is a member of HSPs family that are upregulated when animals is
expose to thermal conditions and they help animals to tolerate/survive thermal
assault (Onasanya et al., 2020).
