Farmers and ranchers across BC lost more than 651,000 livestock to a deadly heat dome event in 2021. Researchers are now testing a new breed of cattle that may be able to withstand extreme heat in Canada.
The new study, led collaboratively by Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) and Thompson Rivers University, specifically draws on a naturally occurring gene mutation that provides cattle with a higher level of heat tolerance.
