If cows can beat the heat in Mexico, yours can too. The owner of a 1,200-cow commercial herd in the Querétaro region of Mexico who was feeding a protected B vitamin blend with good success
This study from the Department of Animal Sciences, University of Arizona quantified heat stress and its influence on dairy cow metabolism and performance. It identified the temperature humidity index (THI) for lactating dairy cows producing
Active cooling of cows during the dry period relative to heat stress isn’t just good practice for lactating cows. Keeping cows cool during this time confers vital advantages to their calves. Read the research in

What happens to a cow when there is a rise in air temperature and humidity? Negative outcomes increase. Using a temperature-humidity index (THI) can help you identify the different levels of heat stress and how
Investing in nutrition and management during heat stress can provide a high return on investment. Cows of all stages of production can benefit from being managed and fed to reduce the impact of THI. Read
Heat-stressed dry cows will produce less milk, but there are ways to help them. It’s estimated that heat-stressed dry cows account for $810 million in milk loss annually in the United States (J. Dairy Sci. 99:9931-9941).
