Thermal stress is one of the major factors negatively influencing livestock production. Goats are known for their ability to adapt to adverse environmental conditions as they possess unique adaptive traits due to behavioural, morphological, physiological, and largely genetic bases. There is a high need to select goats that are suited to a wide range of geographical and harsh environments.The present study was carried out to analyse the expression profile of ENOX2 gene in heat stress susceptible (HSS) and heat stress tolerant (HST) individuals in Attappady black and Malabari goat breeds. The temperature humidity index (THI) was calculated during the period of the experiment. Total RNA was isolated from the whole blood of HST and HSS groups of both breeds. The relative expression pattern of ENOX2 gene showed 1.74 and 5.27 fold higher expression when compared to the control (HST) in Attappady black and Malabari goats, respectively.
