Abstract:
The effects of heat stress are most pronounced in the lactating dairy cow. The effects manifest themselves in several physiologic mechanisms and include negative effects on the duration of estrus, embryonic development, uterine blood flow, hormonal relationships, fetal growth, and subsequent milk yield.

01:41Spermatogenesis
Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid sperm cells are produced in the male testes. It starts with stem cells located close to the outer rim of seminiferous tubules. These spermatogonial stem cells divide asymmetrically to give rise to additional stem cells (meaning that these structures “self-renew”), as well as sperm progenitors, called spermatocytes. Importantly, this method of asymmetric mitotic division maintains a population of spermatogonial stem cells in the male reproductive...

Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.
