ThermoPlus®
CCPA Thermo® ProductWhy Use ThermoPlus®?
A recent study in the Netherlands has estimated that three weeks exposure to heat stress per annum would cost approximately €270 per cow (Feenstra, 2017). Managing heat stress is therefore a real economic issue for the ruminant sector.
Heat stress impacts not only the welfare of livestock but also affects feed consumption and feed efficiency. Growth performance, livestock health, milk and meat quality are impaired.
How ThermoPlus® works: mode of action
To support ruminants during hot and humid season, the CCPA Group has developed ThermoPlus.
The solution ThermoPlus acts on the consequences of heat stress. It strengthens the natural systems involved in heat dissipation, corrects electrolyte balance and stimulates ingestion. ThermoPlus thus ensures animal comfort and welfare and therefore optimises milk production and growth performance.
Capsicum (Capsaicin)
Capsaicin from chilli peppers activates peripheral vasodilation, which strengthens the natural heat dissipation mechanisms. This helps ruminants regulate body temperature more effectively during periods of high ambient temperature and humidity.
Green Tea (Camellia sinensis)
Rich in natural antioxidants, green tea extract helps neutralise free radicals generated during heat stress. It protects cellular integrity and supports the animal's immune defences when under thermal pressure.
Proven efficacy in dairy cows and growing cattle
Improvement in dairy production
ThermoPlus supplementation supports milk yield and milk quality parameters during heat stress periods in dairy cows.
Improvement in growth
Growing cattle supplemented with ThermoPlus show improved growth performance and feed efficiency during hot and humid conditions.
