Heat stress in dairy cows: how to protect performance and profitability

Milk losses begin sooner than most producers realize.

Heat stress doesn't only occur during extreme temperatures. Even moderate heat can reduce feed intake, disrupt rumen function, compromise gut integrity, and negatively affect milk production and cow health. 

What will you learn in this brochure?

• How heat stress affects intake, rumination, digestion, and metabolism
• Why heat stress increases the risk of acidosis and gut health challenges
• The hidden biological costs of elevated THI
• Strategies to support dairy cow resilience during hot weather
• Proven research and commercial trial results under heat stress conditions

Why download it?

This brochure provides practical insights for dairy producers, nutritionists, and consultants looking to:

• Protect milk production during summer
• Maintain feed intake and rumen stability
• Reduce health and fertility challenges
• Improve resilience when temperatures rise

Plus, discover real-world results

The brochure highlights improvements in energy-corrected milk, feed efficiency, rumination, and herd health observed in heat stress studies. 

Learn how to help cows stay productive, profitable, and resilient when heat challenges performance.
