University researchers study acute heat stress in feedlot cattle
Heat stress can cause an assortment of complications in cattle from reduced feed intake to death in severe cases. While places in the Midwest like Nebraska do not see many cases of chronic heat stress events where cattle are exposed to excessive heat for six or more days, acute heat stress events characterized by shorter exposure to excessive heat are typical during the summer and can be challenging to predict and prepare for.
