Descripción de la medida
A higher share of mineral feed (+20%) balances the loss of minerals caused by a high perspiration during hot periods
Comentarios sobre la sostenibilidad
Increased mineral feed intake ensures that the animals' metabolism is maintained even during heat periods. Yeast additives can increase the digestibility of the feed. Rumen buffers prevent acidosis due to a lower basic feed intake. Healthy animals are efficient and reduce veterinary and medication costs.
