Extreme heat: guaranteeing optimum protection for animals in organic farming.

At Gaec du Baylou (81), global warming is nothing new. Since 2017, the dairy goat farm has adapted to cope with rising temperatures.

It was while reading the Paysan Breton that the farmers discovered Thermo®Plus, the solution for ruminants against heat stress. They had been looking for some time for a solution to support their animals in order to reduce the impact of high heat on their herd of dairy cows (drop in milk, drop in ingestion, etc.). The purchase of fans was excluded as they were more expensive in terms of investment.

“The cows suffered from the heat: they ate less and decreased production. I used Delta® ThermoPlus all summer and the difference is remarkable: the cows are eating better and especially from a behavioral and health point of view, it’s much better than previous summers!”

“In 2017, we decided to use Delta® ThermoPlus on our finishing batches. We see nothing but good things in Delta® ThermoPlus! There are no refusals, the ingestion is regular, the animals are lying down, calm and the performance, even if we don’t have an accurate measurement, is much better! We use the ThermoTool application to manage the distribution of the product and it is a very good indicator!”

“Since I’ve been using ThermoPlus my goats can tolerate heat better. They continue to eat and their milk production has decreased less. I’m not the only one who has noticed changes, two experienced inseminators were surprised to see my goats so little out of breath! I am conquered by this product: 91% of AI are successful. Next year I am already planning to use ThermoPlus again!”
