All About Feed will publish a special issue dedicated to the topic of heat stress, in May 2026. This special will bring together articles from researchers, experts in the field and other independent authorities.
Heat stress is a hidden but powerful disruptor in livestock production, undermining both performance and profitability while posing a serious threat to animal welfare.
When animals are unable to dissipate excess heat, the consequences are immediate and costly: increased mortality, greater susceptibility to disease, and a marked decline in productivity. Dairy cows produce less milk, pigs and broilers experience reduced growth rates, laying hens deliver fewer eggs, and reproductive performance can falter across species. Despite its widespread impact, heat stress remains an underestimated challenge, yet one that can be significantly mitigated with the right strategies and technologies.
Topics in this special will include:
- How to recognise signs of heat stress
- Best practices to reduce heat stress
- Tips on better management practices
- Effect of heat stress on gut health
- And much more…
