Heat stress in dairy cows reduces milk production and health, and in pregnant cows it can affect not only the next lactation but also the next two generations. Nutritional solutions from Adisseo help maintain milk performance, support cow health, and improve the long-term productivity of future herds. ...

Carlos, Alfredo—great discussion, and I agree this is an area that doesn’t get nearly enough attention at the farm or technical level. One aspect that’s often overlooked in lighting conversations is the electrical quality of the lighting system itself. LED fixtures are non-linear loads, and depending on driver design, they can introduce electrical noise into the farm environment. We were recently on a site where just three faulty LED drivers increased stray voltage levels...

Due to genetic selection for specific production-related traits, genetic progress in dairy cattle, particularly Holsteins, has accelerated greatly. Advances in genomics have dramatically increased the potential for milk fat and protein yields (Figures 1 and 2). Today’s cows are genetically capable of producing levels of components that would have been considered impossible just a decade ago. However, fully reaching that potential now depends highly on more precise nutrition. As...

Alfredo, you are exactly right. Lighting is not being frequently discussed at farm level. That's why we at HATO are talking about the importance of light and about the way we can modify animal behavior with the use of light. Through our proprietary development, RUDAX, we can influence animal behavior at a hormonal level. When other factors such as feed, air quality, genetics, and cleanliness are well managed, this can result in increased milk production. ...

Thank you, Carlos Alejandro, for your valuable input. You raise an important point: lighting is often an underappreciated factor in dairy production, yet it has a direct impact on animal behavior, feed intake, and milk yield. Aligning lighting programs with the physiological needs of the animals can significantly enhance both productivity and welfare. In today’s environment, where efficiency and sustainability are critical, precision lighting offers a compelling...

I agree to cool cows before parturition and throughout lactation, which is the key challenges process of milk production by increasing cows' “peak” in early lactation, prolonging persistency of lactation through mid and late lactation. During prolonging expose to high ambient temperature would involve many bodily alterations, including hormonal changes, body metabolism, feed intake, and mammary functions. These factors would be elucidated for the dairy farmer. ...

A cow’s biology and genetics set the stage for her milk production potential. Thanks to genomics, the pace of genetic progress has accelerated in recent years, pushing that potential ever higher. But are we feeding cows to match it? Today’s dairy cows can achieve more with better nutrition, yet their ability to physically consume enough nutrients lags behind their rising requirements. ...
