Heat Stress, Transition & Cow Resilience.
Heat stress, dry cow management, fetal programming, transition cow health, immunity, and long-term productivity.
Watch or listen to the episodes in order, then review the key takeaways and short companion posts.
The Trail
What you'll take away
Heat stress has long tails
The heat-stress episodes connect immediate cow stress with fetal programming and generational productivity.
Transition nutrition is resilience work
Transition cow content links energy metabolism, immune pressure, protein feeding, and fresh cow management.
Methionine appears in stress response
Multiple episodes connect rumen-protected methionine with thermal challenge and immune function.
Short reads on this trail
Short-form posts by Adisseo experts on the same themes as the episodes, for another angle in a few minutes.
Transition cows face changing intake, metabolism, immunity, and environmental load. This post places methionine within a broader discussion of amino acid balance and measurable indicators of resilience.
Calving changes intake, glucose and calcium demand, immune activity, liver workload, and mammary development. This post explains why nutritional priorities shift across the dry period and early lactation.
The transition period links gestation, changing intake, metabolism, immune status, and early lactation. This post focuses on monitoring those shifts rather than assigning every health outcome to nutrition alone.
