Heat has a significant effect on increasing blood glucose levels during stressful periods in livestock.
Production of the stress hormone, Cortisol, during chronic stress suppresses the immune system. The long duration of heat stress (Temperatures above 75° F} and the continuous release of gluco-corticoids may result in increased inflammation, slowing of the immune system, poor growth and lowering of fertility in bovine.
Both Farmatan and Rumetrics have a long track record of influencing rumen microbial activity, impacting enzyme regulation involved in carbohydrate, glucose, lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, cellular electrolyte transport, and thyroxine production resulting in whole body electrolyte balance.
Improves integrity of mucosa and tight junctions of the intestine, reducing “leaky gut” and pathogen entry, provides optimum use and absorption of nutrients and maintenance of a strong immune system.
Rumetrics™ is a proprietary formulation of selected ingredients of Chromium, Capsicum, Betaine, Chelated Minerals and Critical Vitamins that together can aid in mitigating the negative physiological response to cortisol.
Feed at the rate of 7 gram per head per day for maintenance and 11 gram per head per day over 75° F.
