Across the US, temperatures are starting to fall as the winter season sets in. While the heat of the summer can bring the onset of heat stress within hours, cold stress brings a different set of challenges during cooler temperatures. Dr. Nate Haas, Director of Applied Research and Technical Services, talks about how much more energy is needed when it gets colder and that slug feeding may not be the answer. In addition, damp environments and even cold water can drive the need for energy even higher with cold weather. Proper management, observation of animals, and multiple feedings hold the key to keep animals productive during these times of stress. For information or additional episodes, visit Bio-Vet.com.
