As such, they do not lose heat from their skin except the minimal heat radiation from combs and wattles.They thereby resort to panting to release heat from the body, during heat stress which leads excess removal of carbon dioxide from the system. Carbonic acid is used to release significant amount of carbon dioxide. Depletion of carb ...

Thanks so much everybody for sharing the causes of heat stress and relevant remedies.Regards.
