Abstract

Heat stress is one of the important factors affecting the welfare, production performance and product quality of livestock and poultry. Livestock and poultry are susceptible to heat stress and environmental hypoxia due to their rapid metabolic rate, high level of production and poor performance of heat dissipation. Tryptophan, one of nutritionally essential amino acid, plays an essential role in nutrition metabolism, digestion and absorption in livestock and poultry. As a precursor of a series of bioactive substances, tryptophan is pivotal molecule in signal transmission along the microbiome-gut-brain axis, and plays a vital role in modulating immune response, intestinal barrier function and intestinal microbial composition and diversity. This review summarizes the mechanism of heat stress and its effect on livestock and poultry as well as the regulation of tryptophan on heat stress in livestock and poultry, focusing on possible mechanisms involved in mediating heat stress.
