英文摘要	Simple Summary This review highlights the various adverse effects of heat stress on the production and general well-being of the goat industry. Goats possess exceptional adaptability traits, allowing them to thrive well in diverse environments, particularly in harsh conditions such as tropical and semi-arid zones. This makes goats the ideal small ruminants for food security in an era of inevitable and continuous climate change. Despite the inherent ability of goats to withstand extreme weather conditions, their reproductivity and overall productivity are compromised in the event of heat stress. Therefore, gaining in-depth knowledge of the effects of heat stress and the various mitigating strategies to alleviate heat stress is a significant approach to ensuring food security. These efforts will serve as a benchmark for genetically engineering heat-tolerant goats suitable for the current climatic conditions to ensure optimal productivity in the future.Abstract Goats, versatile creatures selectively bred for various purposes, have become pivotal in shaping the socioeconomic landscape, particularly in rural and economically challenged areas. Their remarkable ability to withstand and adapt to extreme heat has proven invaluable, allowing them to flourish and reproduce in even the harshest climates on Earth. Goat farming has emerged as a reliable and sustainable solution for securing food resources. However, despite its significance, the goat-producing industry has received less attention than other ruminants. Despite goats' inherent resilience to heat, their productivity and reproductive performance suffer under high ambient temperatures, leading to heat stress. This presents a significant challenge for goat production, necessitating a comprehensive multidisciplinary approach to mitigating the adverse effects of heat stress. This review aims to explore the diverse impacts of heat stress on goats and propose effective measures to address the sector's challenges. By understanding and addressing these issues, we can enhance the resilience and sustainability of goat farming, ensuring its continued contribution to food security and socioeconomic development.
