Heat Stress special: Reserve your space now!
Misset International brands All About Feed, Poultry World, Pig Progress and Dairy global are publishing a special magazine on Heat Stress in April 2021. Focusing on solutions to minimise the impact of heat stress on farm animals. Don’t miss out and reserve your advertising space now.
Heat stress occurs when an animal’s heat load is greater than its capacity to lose heat. It can cast a shadow over the performance and profitability of livestock production. High environmental temperature is not the only reason that causes elevated body temperature but a combination of environmental temperature and relative humidity could be to blame too.
Heat stress in farm animals
Heat stress in dairy cows can cause a significant drop in milk production as well as having a negative affect on fertility and reproductive performance. In broilers and laying hens, heat stress can reduce growth rates, decrease egg production and reduce the quality of meat and eggs. Pigs are also sensitive to heat stress and sunburn. They have relatively small lungs and no sweat glands so are unable to keep themselves cool. Heat stress seems to be an underestimated problem but, to a large extent, one that could be easily solved.
