When heat stress hits, most cattle reduce feed intake, lose body condition, and divert energy away from production SLICK Cattle are different With lower body temperature, they continue eating more normally under heat stress, allowing them to maintain productivity while non-SLICK animals struggle. SLICK genetics are delivering measurable results across tropical and heat-stressed regions.
As Tropical dairy producers, managing heat stress is critical to maintaining animal welfare, fertility, and milk production. The Temperature-Humidity Index (THI) is a practical tool that combines air temperature and relative humidity to assess the risk of heat stress in cattle. The chart below clearly shows how quickly conditions escalate from mild discomfort to severe and even deadly stress.
Tropical Resilience Genetics (TrRG) is a global leader in heat-tolerant dairy genetics, delivering high-performance cattle for tropical and heat stressed climates.
