KemTRACE^® Chromium: Your Tool to Counter Heat Stress

In Canada, heat stress can cause milk loss up to 3.5 kg/day.¹ The inability of a cow to dissipate heat effectively compromises their ability to function normally.² Evidence suggests insulin action is a key component of heat stress response.³ Chromium supplementation has been shown to:

Increase insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization⁴
Improve dry matter intake (DMI) in heat stressed cows⁵
Improve DMI during heat stress to help maintain milk production⁵

Supplemental Chromium Impacts Milk Yield During Heat Stress

Dry Matter Intake and Daily Milk Yield (kg) - Canada

Response in daily milk yield, kg/h/d and dry matter intake, kg/h/d compared to the control within the study.
*Denotes significant difference from control.

Figure 1. Effect of chromium supplementation in lactating dairy cow diets on response in daily milk yield and dry matter intake, kg/h/d under heat stress conditions.
