Delta® ThermoPlus®
CCPA Thermo® ProductWhy Use Delta® ThermoPlus®?
The economic impact of heat stress
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 digestive efficiency. Growth performance, livestock health and milk and meat quality are impaired.

How Delta® ThermoPlus® works: mode of action
Mode of action for ruminants
To support ruminants during hot and humid season, CCPA Group has developed Delta ThermoPlus.
Delta ThermoPlus acts on the consequences of heat stress. It strengthens the natural systems involved in evacuating heat, offsets electrolyte and stimulates ingestion. Delta ThermoPlus thus ensures comfort and welfare animal 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.
