There is still a wide gap between meat demand and meat production in Egypt. This gap is becoming larger due to the direct and indirect impacts of global warming that negatively influence the grazing area and the performance of livestock. In this context, rabbits are considered as an alternative source for animal-origin meat. In the Southern Mediterranean region, the most obvious problem encountering rabbit production is the hot waves during the summer, especially during the last decades. The narrow thermo-neutral zone of rabbits makes the high temperature hinder the success of commercial production. Different strategies may assist rabbits in coping with heat stress, which are reviewed in the current study, including the improved management practices, development of new breeds, and implementation of different nutritional strategies.

“…Heat stress interferes with follicular growth and dominance in the pre-ovulatory phase. In heat-stressed cows and heifers, dominant and subordinate follicles are smaller and larger, respectively, resulting in codominance (126)(127)(128)(129). It is noteworthy that the follicular proportion of the first wave is similar, however the secondary wave in thermoneutral cows has a larger diameter when compared to animals under heat stress (120).…”

Thermal stress causes severe effects on the wellbeing and reproduction of cattle, including changes in oogenesis and spermatogenesis, generating great concerns, which last for decades. In cattle, the occurrence of thermal stress is associated with a reduction in the production of spermatozoids and ovarian follicles, in addition to the increase of major and minor defects in gametes or in their intermediate stages. In bovine females able to reproduce, a reduction in the rate of estrus manifestation and an increase in embryonic mortality has been observed. Therefore, keeping animals on good welfare conditions, with water supply and in shaded areas can favor the improvement of different reproductive parameters. For all this, the present study aimed to gather, synthesize and argue recent studies related to animal welfare, focusing on the effects of thermal stress on the reproduction of cattle, aiming to support possible strategies to mitigate the harmful effects of thermal stress in this species.

“…Heat stress can also affect the endocrine function of the body and it can affect the fertility and reproductive efficiency of the animals. The reproductive efficiency of the dairy cattle that experienced heat stress, especially in summer, lowered the fertility in dairy cows (Para et al 2018) Proceedings of the 2 nd Indian International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management Warangal, Telangana, India, August 16-18, 2022 © IEOM Society International…”

This paper focuses on the issue of heat stress and its adverse effects on animals, specifically livestock, and attempts to develop a solution using the Arduino microcontroller. The adverse effects of heat stress towards animals includes the deterioration of the reproductive system of animals, abnormalities in eating behaviors, and so on. The researchers have developed the schematics and the specifications used for the solution to the heat stress dilemma. The schematics include the usage of sensors for humidity and temperature, which can be viewed on a mobile phone application, and an automatic feeder which will operate under a certain time set by the user. This is controlled through a mobile application which also uses push notifications to notify the user about the conditions of the animals. The researcher recommends further analysis through comparison with other products with a similar goal, and additional features to further enhance the current schematic.
