Summer heat stress in dairy cattle is about far more than fans and sprinklers. In this episode of Ruminate This, Scott Zehr and Dr. Larry Roth discuss the hidden biological effects of heat stress in dairy cows, including inflammation, leaky gut, oxidative stress, altered blood flow, and immune disruption. They also explain why heat stress should be viewed as an inflammation challenge rather than simply a temperature problem.

The episode also explores how DTX™ with Livox uses probiotic technology and plant actives like curcumin, naringen, and carnosic acid to support dairy cows during periods of heat stress. Learn how internal biological support may help cows better withstand the stacked environmental insults of summer while supporting health, performance, and resilience.

Most dairy conversations treat heat stress in dairy cows as the primary problem.
But what if it is not the root cause. What if it is the multiplier?

In episode 72 of Ruminate This, Scott and Dr. Larry Roth explore a different way to think about dairy heat stress. Not as an isolated challenge, but as something that amplifies underlying issues like mycotoxins, reduced dry matter intake, and marginal nutrition.

They walk through how stacked stress impacts gut health, liver function, and milk production, often long before you see changes in the tank.

If you are a dairy producer, nutritionist, or consultant, this episode will help you better understand how to manage heat stress and protect cow performance during high-risk periods.
