Hot, hotter, alkaloids: How isoquinoline alkaloids support dairy cows under heat stress conditions
Dairy cow health is increasingly threatened by rising temperatures, leading to physiological stress responses, reduced feed intake, and performance losses. A field study observed notable effects on milk yield, feed efficiency, and stress indicators under moderate heat conditions. While outcomes suggest promising nutritional strategies, especially under compounded stressors, further details and long-term implications are explored throughout the article.
