In the present experiment we studied the effect of cold stress as assessed by Wind Chill Temperature (WCT) on physiological, hemato-biochemical, behavioural parameters and milk production of crossbred cattle. The study spanned for a period of 14 weeks (November to March) with WCT range of 13.51±1.09 to 5.67±0.51. The rectal temperature (°C) and respiration rate (p
