April 30th: Heat stress in dairy cows and the potential mitigating role of methionine

>Heat stress and methionine

Join this free webinar on April 30 to discover heat stress effects on dairy cows and how methionine could be used to mitigate them.

Heat stress now occurs at a regular pace and has many harmful effects on dairy cows intake, milk yield, health, etc. It also impacts the lifetime performance of subsequent generations of cows. While cooling and heat abatement remain critical, ensuring that essential nutrients, such as the amino acid methionine, are met during heat stress can provide additional protection. 

In this webinar with Dr. Jimena Laporta, we will take a deep dive into: 

  • Physiological mechanisms by which heat stress disrupts production and health 
  • The latest research on the multigenerational effects of heat stress during the dry period 
  • The potential role of methionine as a nutritional strategy to mitigate the effects of heat stress for both transition cows and their offspring
