Heat stress isn't just uncomfortable for cows, it can significantly reduce their milk production!

Long-Term Effects: Even mild heat stress can have lasting impacts. Cows exposed to dry heat produced 6.3 kg less milk per day in their next lactation.

Generational Impact: Heifers born to heat-stressed cows saw reductions in milk production during their first three lactations by 2.2 kg/day, 2.3 kg/day, and a whopping 6.5 kg/day respectively.

⬇️ Decreased Milk Fat & Protein: Heat stress can lower milk fat and protein levels by up to 16%.

⬆️ Increased Somatic Cell Count: There's also a higher risk of elevated somatic cell counts, indicating potential health issues.

Protect your herd by implementing cooling strategies and ensuring they stay comfortable during hot periods. Learn more here: https://trouwntr.tn/30y
