- Impaired immune function
- Increased water consumption
- Respiratory alkalosis
- Increased susceptibility to disease
Management Principles
- Provide adequate cool, clean drinking water
- Supplement with electrolytes during heat events

- Adjust feeding schedule to cooler hours
- Use Vitamin C to mitigate stress effects
