Baumgard’s primary research emphasis has been on the metabolic and endocrine consequences of heat stress in growing and lactating animals. Lance and his research team have made a number of novel discoveries with regards to changes in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism during heat stress. These previously unexplained changes in post-absorptive nutrient partitioning reduce milk yield more than reduced feed intake and negative energy balance predict. At Iowa State University, Lance’s Environmental Physiology efforts have evaluated how heat stress alters post-absorptive fuel selection in

Dr. Lance Baumgard, Professor at Iowa State University, speaks about a global problem: heat stress and its impact on economy, production and food security. He also mentions some dietary and management strategies to mitigate this problem and reduce the negative effects of heat stress which is becoming worse in the future due to climate change.
