Ruminations #3 | Cooling the pressure: science-based strategies for healthier, more productive cattle

In this third edition of Ruminations, we take a holistic view of heat stress management, connecting cow biology and physiology, rumen health, nutrition, and on-farm practices into one integrated framework.

Join Prof. Cassandra Tucker PhD, one of the world’s leading experts in cattle welfare, for an insightful session on managing heat stress in beef and dairy systems. This webinar will explore how heat stress impacts animal health, behavior, and productivity—and how a holistic, science-based approach combining welfare, nutrition, and management can help producers feed smarter and protect performance under pressure.

Key learning objectives

• Understand how heat stress affects cattle physiology, behavior, and productivity

• Apply practical feeding strategies to support intake, rumen function, and resilience

• Integrate welfare, nutrition, and management practices to mitigate heat stress effectively

Novonesis will donate USD 5 for each live webinar participant, up to a maximum total contribution of USD 3,000, to support the work of Kinder Ground. This donation is made by Novonesis and is not contingent on any purchase or business relationship.

Who should attend

• Dairy nutritionists and consultants

• Veterinarians

• Dairy producers and herd managers

• Anyone involved in decision-making around cow health, nutrition, and performance

Join us for a science-driven discussion designed to help you think beyond single interventions and start managing heat stress as the complex biological challenge it truly is.
