Heat®

How cows make bad mamas.. because calves can't nurse in a pond

Built for the Heat. Backed by Science.

 

Tackle Heat Stress Without Sacrificing Performance.​

VitaFerm® HEAT® Technology—Now Built Into the Products You Already Trust.​

When the Heat Rises, Your Profits Pay the Price

It doesn’t take triple digits to hurt your herd.
Heat stress starts around 70°F, and when paired with humidity, fescue toxicity, or fly pressure, it’s a perfect storm for lost performance.

Heat stress means:

  • Cows bunching in the shade
  • Standing in ponds
  • Heavy breathing before noon
  • Less grazing, lower intake
  • Poor breed-back and late calves

And a late calf? That can COST you 30–60 lbs. at weaning—$75 to $150 per head.

That’s Why VitaFerm® HEAT® Technology Exists

You can’t afford cattle that shut down in the summer. So, we built a solution that doesn’t make you choose between performance and heat relief.
VitaFerm HEAT Technology is now integrated into our core product lines—so you can keep cows grazing, cycling, and raising calves,
even in the toughest months.

Every product with HEAT Technology helps your cattle:

Backed by Research, Proven in the Field

  • AO-Biotics® Amaferm® is research-proven to increase digestibility, leading to better performance, even under heat stress
  • Our proprietary blend of essential oils contains ingredients that are proven to support cooling by improving heat transfer from the body’s core to the periphery, where it can begin to dissipate
  • Garlic has been proven to reduce fly counts by 45%
  • Premium organic trace minerals are research-proven to have a bigger impact on performance by improving bioavailability

What’s in HEAT Technology—and Why It Matters

Ingredient How It Helps
AO-Biotics® Amaferm®
Enhances digestibility → more energy and milk from summer forage
Essential Oils
Promote vasodilation → helps cool cows from the inside out
Garlic
Natural fly deterrent → less bunching, more grazing
Organic Trace Minerals
Support reproduction, immunity, and hoof health under stress

What About Fescue and Flies?​

Fescue Toxicity = Hidden Summer Losses

  •  
  • Rough coats, poor intake, heat stress
  • Delayed breed-back: 15–30 days or more
  • Lighter calves at weaning = $100+ lost per head

 Fly Pressure = More Than a Nuisance

  • Elevated stress
  • Sores and skin damage
  • Reduced gain and hide value
  • Insect-borne illness like Anaplasmosis

VitaFerm® HEAT® + ClariFly®
