WHY CHOOSE VITALCHILL?
Heat stress has a significant impact on dairy cows.
Heat stress causes cows to eat less dry matter and increases respiration rates and standing times as they attempt to cool themselves. In fresh cows, the impact on milk yield is well documented. In dry cows, it can not only affect transition success, but they are more likely to sustain poor rumen fills through the fresh period, affecting yield, health and fertility.
VitalChill is a combination of products which, combined, help to increase blood flow, improve rumen function and stimulate water intake. This heat abatement technology is absorbed into the small intestine and works quickly to direct blood to the skin and extremities to increase sweating and, therefore, cooling, as well as protecting the rumen so that valuable buffers are not lost through panting.
