Heat Stress
Keep your animals healthy and productive during hot weather
Heat stress is a big challenge
When your animals struggle to keep their body temperature within the ideal thermal neutral zone and their temperature surpasses the threshold, they will experience heat stress. This heat stress leads to higher mortality rates, reduced feed intake, and decreased productivity, impacting them not only during the heatwave but also afterwards. Consequently, this will significantly reduce your financial returns. Discover effective ways to mitigate the effects of heat stress through comprehensive management, health strategies, and feeding solutions, all integrated in the CoolCare approach.
