A postbiotic from Aspergillus oryzae attenuates the impact of heat stress in ectothermic and endothermic organisms

Abstract Heat stress is detrimental to food-producing animals and animal productivity remains suboptimal despite the use of heat abatement strategies during summer. Global warming and the increase of frequency and intensity of heatwaves are likely to continue and, thus, exacerbate the problem of hea...
