Feedlot cattle are crucial to Australia’s livestock industry, supplying beef for domestic and export markets. High summer temperatures and humidity increase heat stress vulnerability, impacting growth, productivity, and welfare. We use NMR-based metabolomics and clinical biochemistry to understand the metabolic effects of heat stress to help mitigate its impact.
