Ready For A Hot Time

摘要

If cattle are suffering from heat stress, you have to act fast. There's no time to build a plan of action. Now, before the weather turns warm, is the time to develop your heat-stress plan or review your current one. Heat stroke is common in ruminantsbecause they can't sweat, which reduces their evaporative capability for heat loss. Fed cattle are especially prone to heat stroke, if they don't have water or shade, says Kelly Lechtenberg, veterinarian from Oakland, ME.
