This study examines the complex interplay between summer stress and its effects on the microbiota and rumen function of crossbred cattle. Summer stress is becoming an increasingly important issue for animal health and production as a result of the exceptional problems brought about by the continued rise in global temperatures, which pose a threat to the livestock sector. Feed intake, nutrient utilization, and volatile fatty acid synthesis are some of the factors that are examined the rumen function. In order to further understand how the rumen microbiota changes in response to summer stress, we will also use high-throughput sequencing methods. Our goal is to find biomarkers that show how stress creates rumen alterations by studying the dynamic relationship between environmental stressors and the rumen ecosystem. Livestock management practices in the context of climate change can benefit greatly from this study. To reduce the detrimental impacts on animal health and productivity, it is important to understand how summer stress affects the rumen function and microbiota in crossbred cattle. This knowledge may then guide targeted treatments such dietary changes and environmental adjustments. This research adds to the body of information in the scientific community and helps create long-term strategies to protect crossbred cattle from harmful environmental stress.
