Adaptability of buffaloes to climatic stress, as assessed by physiological reactions.
Among the physiological reactions to climate, the haematocrit value had a tendency to increase in the hotter months, though the increase observed was within physiological limits. Rectal temperature did not change to significantly higher levels, during the months with average ambient temperatures in the region of 25.1-31.6 degrees C. Similarly, pulse rates, too, increased in parallel to rising ambient temperatures.
