.Abstract
The average surface temperature is predicted to rise 0.5 to 6˚C by the year 2100. When Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica), a source of protein for many, are subjected to heat stress, their blood acid-base equilibrium and ability to regulate electrolytes may change. Climate change adversely affects food security because of its undesirable consequences on agricultural crops as well as on livestock (Shukla et al., 2019). Further, temperature is adjudged to be the most important environmental determinant amongst all bioclimatic variables usually evoking stress.
