Heat stress in farm animals: nutritional issues and solutions
Heat stress represents a major challenge for livestock, affecting their wellbeing and productivity significantly.

Leaky gut: a consequence of heat stress to be taken into account
During heat episodes, blood is diverted to the skin to eliminate internal heat. As a result, the intestines are less irrigated and the cells less oxygenated. The junctions between the cells loosen, which can allow certain germs and toxins to enter the bloodstream. The absorption of nutrients is reduced. All this greatly deteriorates the comfort of the animals by causing oxidative stress and inflammation. This syndrome is known as “leaky gut”.
