This result indicates that CTmax is a robust, repeatable estimate of thermal tolerance in a cold-water adapted fish. The influence of hypothermia on erythrocyte profile of thermophile teleost species round goby, Neogobius melanostomus (Pallas, 1814), has been studied. Fish were acclimated to temperature 1-2оС, 15-16оС and 19-20оС (control group) and held at given conditions for 5 days. The number of red blood cell precursors (pronormoblasts, basophilic and polychromatophilic normoblasts) in circulating blood has been estimated. Also, the number of abnormal erythrocytes, i.e. cells with micronuclei, nuclei invaginations, red blood cell shades, dacryocytes and cells undergoing amitosis has been determined on smears. The number of immature erythrocytes increased more than two times (p  less then  0,001) at 1-2оС. The number of low-differentiated precursors, pronormoblasts and early basophilic normoblasts, increased for the most part. The number of abnormal erythrocytes did not change substantially, The changes in cellular blood composition were accompanied with the increase of plasma lactate concentration, indicating hypoxic state of fish. The results of the present work indicate that hematopoietic tissue remains sensitive to controlling factors at hypothermia, such as hypoxia, and may enhance proliferation and differentiation of erythroid cells. Marine organisms living at low temperatures tend to have larger genomes and larger cells which suggest that these traits can be beneficial in colder environments. In fish, triploidy (three complete sets of chromosomes) can be induced experimentally following fertilization, which provides a model system to investigate the hypothesis that larger cells and genomes offers a physiological advantage at low temperatures. We tested this hypothesis by measuring metabolic rates and swimming performance of diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) post smolts acclimated to 3 or 10.5 °C. At 10.5 °C, triploids had significantly lower maximum metabolic rates which resulted in a lower aerobic scope compared to diploids. In addition, triploids initiated ram ventilation at lower swimming speeds, providing further evidence of a reduced capacity to meet oxygen demands during strenuous activity at 10.5 °C. However, at 3 °C, metabolic rates and critical swimming speeds were similar between both ploidies, and as expected substantially lower than at 10.5 °C. Therefore, triploidy in colder environments did not provide any advantage over diploidy in terms of metabolic rate traits or swimming performance in Atlantic salmon. We therefore conclude that traits, other than aerobic scope and swimming performance, contribute to the trend for increased cell and genome size in marine ectotherms living in cold environments. Chronic heat stress (CHS) reduces the production efficiency of the buffalo dairy industry. Relatively low-abundance proteins with particular functions in biological processes are changed by CHS. The present study aimed to quantify the differences in low-abundance proteins of crossbred dairy buffaloes under CHS and thermal-neutral (TN) conditions. With label-free quantification, 344 low-abundance proteins were identified in serum. Of these, 17 differentially expressed low-abundance proteins with known functions were detected, and six of the differentially expressed proteins related to heat stress were validated with parallel reaction monitoring. Lipase (LPL), glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3), cathelicidin-2 (CATHL2), ceruloplasmin (CP), and hemoglobin subunit alpha 1 (HBA1) cooperatively played roles in the thermal fitness of dairy buffalo by decreasing heat production and increasing blood oxygen delivery. Also, dairy buffaloes may adapt to CHS and hypoxia with high levels of RBCs, HBA1 and CP to increase blood oxygen delivery capacity. Thermal stress has been shown to result in decreased egg production, decreased eggshell quality, and ultimately millions of dollars in losses to the industry. Therefore, there are many factors to consider when implementing genetic selection programs aimed at improving egg production under tropical conditions. So, trial is trying to improve the productivity and eggshell quality traits of the Fayoumi chicken under high ambient temperatures via selection programs and gene expression. In the present study, day-old Fayoumi chicks were raised either under normal temperature (control) or conditions of thermal stress (the heated group). At 35 weeks, male and female chickens from the control group were mated randomly and females selected for higher egg production and eggshell strength were mated to male siblings to obtain the progeny of the first generation (F1). F1 birds were further selected and mated to obtain the progeny of the second generation. Our results show that egg production and eggshell strength traits improved over successive generations via selection under conditions of heat stress. Furthermore, the reduction in egg production and eggshell strength as a result of heat stress declined from one generation to the next in birds selected for good heat tolerance, and an inverse relationship was observed between the OC-17 and eggshell strength. Additionally, levels of HSP90 and gene expression increased in the two successive generations, indicating that both productivity and heat tolerance were enhanced due to selection in birds raised under conditions of thermal stress. Moreover, generation exerted an important effect on this trait. Thus, desirable traits such as improved heat tolerance in producing lines were observed in Fayoumi chickens exposed to conditions of thermal stress via selection. Therefore, modern advances in studies of poultry breeding and genetics, such as gene expression studies, should be examined. In order to investigate the effects of dietary ginger extract (GE) enriched in gingerols on broilers under heat stress (HS) from 21 to 42 days of age, a total of 144 Ross 308 male broilers were randomly allocated to three groups with six replicates of eight broilers per replicate. Broilers in the control group were raised at 22 °C and fed a basal diet, and broilers in the other two groups were raised under cyclic HS (34 °C from 900 to 1700 and at 22 °C for the rest of the time) and fed the basal diet with or without 1000 mg/kg GE. KP-457 datasheet Supplementation of GE improved (P  less then  0.05) final body weight, average daily gain and feed conversion ratio of broilers under HS, and tended (P  less then  0.1) to increase breast muscle yield. The alterations of serum total protein, albumin, total cholesterol levels and aspartate aminotransferase activity under HS were reversed (P  less then  0.05) by GE, which also decreased (P  less then  0.05) serum triglyceride level and alanine aminotransferase activity. The decreased redness (a* value) and increased drip loss of breast muscle induced by HS were restored (P  less then  0.
