Heat Stress negatively impacts:
-
Production
-
Milk quality
-
Reproduction
-
Herd health
When temperature and humidity
soar, oftentimes heat abatement management practices aren’t enough
to counter the detrimental effects of heat stress. ADM Alliance
Nutrition’s solution technology for heat stress –
Thermal Care™
– offers producers a proven means of keeping production on track and
on time.
At ADM Alliance
Nutrition, evaluating various aspects of heat stress alleviation has
been on-going for a decade. ADM research and
university-collaborated research has lead to the development of a
technology that impacts the underlying physiology associated with
heat stress. Research identified and tested compounds that have
proven beneficial in commercial settings. The result:
Thermal Care, a
patent-pending technology.
Take the stress out of heat stress . . .
with Thermal Care
ADM researchers
identified ingredients that may enhance feed digestion and maintain
gut health and integrity while supporting the immune system and
assisting with blood flow and heat dissipation.
Research proven:
-
During a heat stress trial involving growing dairy cattle, control
cattle exhibited a 26% greater increase (0.6° F) in rectal
temperature compared to Thermal Care treated cattle (Figure 1).
-
Cattle consuming Thermal Care also gained more weight (0.27 lb/hd/day)
while consuming less feed than control cattle (Figure 2).
-
Lactating dairy cattle consuming Thermal Care R produced more milk
and maintained a positive energy balance compared to control
cattle (Figure 3).
-
Despite heat dissipation strategies, lactating dairy cattle
consuming Thermal Care R produced
3 lb more milk and 3.9 lb more
energy corrected milk per head daily than controls (Figure 4).
-
In a
10-month sow trial conducted in Mexico, Thermal Care S reduced sow
backfat loss by 11% in summer months and significantly increased
sow lactation feed intake. Sows consuming Thermal Care S had 2%
higher retention rate (i.e. 2% lower culling rate) than control
sows.
-
In a
commercial sow study conducted in Indiana, sows consuming Thermal
Care S during lactation weaned 0.2 more pigs per litter than
control sows.


Used in conjunction with appropriate feeding and management
practices, Thermal Care is a proven technology for managing heat
stress.
Specially selected, research tested compounds
in
Thermal Care
provide a natural
solution technology to help overcome the negative effects of heat
stress.
