This project aims to address the role of ambient heat stress in animal fertility by examining its mechanisms and developing treatments to alleviate its effects. Using an interdisciplinary approach that brings together veterinary sciences, reproductive biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics, the project expects to improve our understanding of how high environmental temperatures lead to reduced fertility, pregnancy loss and compromised inheritance in large animals, and to develop effective interventions. The resulting benefits include enhanced productivity and resilience of Australia’s livestock industries in the face of a changing climate.

该项目旨在通过研究其机制和开发减轻其影响的治疗方法来解决环境热应激在动物生育中的作用。该项目采用跨学科方法，将兽医学、生殖生物学、生物化学和生物信息学结合在一起，旨在提高我们对高环境温度如何导致大型动物生育力降低、妊娠损失和遗传受损的理解，并制定有效的干预措施。由此带来的好处包括提高澳大利亚畜牧业的生产力和应对气候变化的能力。
