The high temperature and humid weathers coupled with low wind speed can induce heat stress in animal, resulting in reduced growth performance, compromised health status, or even death (Mader, Davis, & Brown-Brandl, 2006). Heat stress is known to disturb metabolic and physiological processes required for optimal cattle productivity, as well as cattle immunity (Collier, Collier, Rhoads, & Baumgard, 2008; Rhoads et al., 2009; West, 2003). Previous studies demonstrated that heat stress lowers average daily feed intake (ADFI) and average daily gain (ADG), which significantly increases breeding cost and compromises production profit (Piotr, Sabina, & Jacek, 2018; Polsky & Von Keyserlingk, 2017). Therefore, it is necessary to develop anti-heat stress therapy to improve the cattle production efficiency. Natural products, such as traditional Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), have received remarkable attention due to their anti-heat stress potential (Song, Xu, Wang, &
