ThermoPlus® helps animals improve their comfort in hot weather conditions. It promotes the dissipation of heat through the skin thus facilitating ingestion and digestion. Body temperature is lowered, production is maintained and the animals are visibly calmer and less out of breath.
There are two versions of ThermoPlus for ruminants. A concentrated version intended for incorporation into concentrates or premixes and a version intended for use directly in the complete ration.

Not only summers are warmer, but their shape has evolved, with alternating phases of variable temperature and periods of high humidity.
Heat stress represents a major challenge for livestock, affecting their wellbeing and productivity significantly. When temperatures rise, animals seek to regulate their body temperature by reducing their food intake, resulting in a series of complex physiological responses. These responses include alterations in breathing patterns, blood gas imbalances and reduced blood flow to essential organs, thereby contributing to heat removal.
The effects of heat stress on adult ruminants are now well known. More and more scientific research is now focusing on the impact of heat stress on young ruminants, and in particular on replacement dairy heifers.
