What is heat stress?

Heat Stress

Periods of high heat, particularly during the summer, alter the comfort of livestock, which are subject to heat stress. This stress affects the physiology of the animals: their body temperature, their respiratory frequency as well as their water consumption increase strongly. This phenomenon is called heat stress and leads to a decrease in the animals' intake and performance.

Your Testimonies

GAEC du Soleil
Delta® ThermoPlus®
"In our region, animals experience heat stress when temperatures exceed 25°C. In 2017, we began using Delta® ThermoPlus on finishing batches. In one notably hot week, my technician observed the animals and asked if they were sick because he found them remarkably calm compared to neighbouring bull calves. There are no feed refusals, feed consumption is regular, the animals are lying down, are calm and their performances are much better! One day I wanted to stop the product… big mistake, I started again the following day! We use the ThermoTool application to manage distribution – a very good indicator."

Charolais suckler cows & meat poultry, Bazoges-en-Paillers, Vendée – 90 young bulls/year, 260 calvings/year

"Since I've been using ThermoPlus, my goats can tolerate heat better. They continue to eat and their milk production drops less. Two experienced inseminators were surprised to see my goats so little out of breath! I am fascinated with this product: 91% of AI are successful. I am already planning to use ThermoPlus next year!"

ThermoPlus® UAB
"I use ThermoPlus® UAB primarily for the comfort of my animals. They halter much less, gather less in the building and come to feed at the trough regularly. I have no loss of milk quality, which I favour over intensifying production. I have no more worries about reproduction and calving in summer. Even at an altitude of 1000m, we will obviously continue to use ThermoPlus®."

Organic dairy farm, Massif Central – <40 Montbéliard cows, 930-1000m altitude

"We used Thermo®Control to ensure the thermal comfort of our sows. Tested on nearly 10,700 sows during the summer, without changing the nutritional values of the feed and without taking any particular measures, results were immediately observed. We noticed an increase in feed consumption, a reduction of excess heat and an increase in overall performance. We can only recommend CCPA Group's Thermo®Control!"

Olivier Traineau
Thermo®Poultry
"In case of high temperatures, I distribute food earlier in the morning and later in the evening. My outdoor hens showed improved behaviour, they were more vigorous, more mobile with fewer visible signs of heat stress. Mortality was reduced by 1.38 percentage points compared to control. Weight maintenance is very important! Thermo®Poultry can be used in drinking water, which makes it easy to use in case of heat stroke."
