Remember last year? In 2024, you and many other farmers across the UK and Europe, experienced unusually high temperatures in combination with high humidity. Even with all the efforts that you already take, heat stress can still have a significant impact like:
- More mastitis and other diseases
- Higher Somatic Cell counts
- More lame cows
- Lower feed intake
- Lower milk production
- Fertility issues
This means your income will decrease during the summertime. This results in a stressful situation also for you as farmer. Especially because we know that the recovery of heat stress effects can take months for your herd. As we approach the summer months of 2025, it's important for you to take more proactive steps than ever to prevent heat stress in cows.
