Résumé anglais
This article presents a brief overview of stress
and its impact on growth, production, reproduction and
disease susceptibility in farm animals. A single measure of
stress might not be a reliable indicator and it is usually
more informative to combine multiple indicators of stress
to assess animal welfare. Popular measures of stress such as
alterations in hormonal profiles can be complemented with
behavioral and immunological changes. Traditional
approaches are insufficient to unravel the role of large
number of genes and interconnected genetic pathways
leading to multiple responses to stresses. Modern genomic
and proteomics methodologies used in identifying the
biomarkers and molecular mechanisms of stress response
have also been described briefly. With a better
understanding of the basic biology, altered physiological
processes and the genes/proteins involved in stress
adaptability, it would be possible to develop methodologies
for selection of animals with better performance and devise
strategies for animal welfare.
