Amino acids to mitigate heat stress in ruminants

18-03-2024 | |
Heat-stressed ruminants could benefit from increases in the post-ruminal supply of AAs such as arginine, cysteine, leucine, lysine, and methionine.
Heat-stressed ruminants could benefit from increases in the post-ruminal supply of AAs such as arginine, cysteine, leucine, lysine, and methionine.
In their study published in the journal Animal Frontiers, researchers suggested that, besides breeding efforts for heat tolerance in ruminants, combining heat abatement strategies with the supply of specific amino acids may help maintain health, metabolism, and production during periods of heat stress. The global livestock industry currently faces the ongoing challenge of heat stress emanating from escalating global temperatures, coupled with the high metabolic heat increment of highly geneti
