HYDRATION IS KEY TO PRODUCTION

GOT HOT COWS?

Chill… With I.C.E.® Premix

U.S. beef and dairy industries lose an estimated $1.2 billion annually due to heat stress.

Symptoms of Ruminants Experiencing Heat Stress:

1. Eat Less 2. Pant More 3. Stand More 4. Decrease in milk 5. Increase in health disorders

Ways to Reduce Heat Stress:

✓ Always provide clean drinking water ✓ Use fans and sprinklers ✓ Make sure animals are cooled in

crowded area ✓ For best results, feed I.C.E.® prior

to heat stress conditions

I.C.E.® consists of a combination of key

ingredients to help animals stay hydrated.

Then elements of I.C.E.® work at the cellular level of

dairy and beef cattle to maintain proteins that are

sensitive to body temperature changes.

COWS IMPACT YOUR

FUTURE
