New study shows that LEVUCELL® SC improves Dairy performance and cow digestive comfort under moderate heat stress
Published:July 1, 2014
Summary
Dairy farms can pay a heavy toll to thermal stress, even under moderate climate. The cow comfort zone is between 5-20°C and it is now admitted that even moderate heat stress can affect dairy production and cows health status.
Heat stress, as other stress factors for livestock, also affects the rumen balance and function , translated into a loss of digestion efficiency and increased acidos...
The topic about the use of Specif ruminant live yeast in controlling the effects of heat stress is a wonderful one and timely.
In hot climates such as in Uganda, this would be a wonderful intervention especially to smaller holder Dairy farmers. The challenge however is the availability of such wonderful innovations in our Countries.
How can dairy farmers who are affected by heat stress in these hot climates access such products.
Thanks.
