Combat the effects of
heat stress
According to the Temperature Humidity Index (THI), cows can
begin to show the effects of mild heat stress at 68 THI.3
Start feeding Purina® Rally® Dairy Feed early in the season
to protect the profit potential of your herd.

HEAT STRESS AND AN ASSOCIATED 10%–35% MILK PRODUCTION LOSS1 MAY COST A DAIRY $1.60–$5.60 PER COW PER DAY.2 Hot weather and humidity are uncontrollable,
but there are nutritional strategies to help lessen the effects of heat
stress. Incorporate Purina® Rally® Dairy Feed into your herd’s ration
early in the season to help maintain milk production throughout the
year — regardless of the weather.
Address heat stress in dairy cows nutritionally.
Heat and humidity impact dairy cows reducing feed intake while
energy requirements increase. The cow has increased energy
needs as she attempts to cool herself; a drop in dry matter intake
(DMI), coupled with an increase in energy demand can quickly
depress milk production.
Impacts start up milk in fresh cows that continues through lactation.
Patented Purina® Rally® Dairy Feed technology allows you to
efficiently deliver glucose and energy to cows when intakes are
challenged. Purina® Rally® Dairy Feed provides benefits for transition
and lactating cows during times of heat stress to:
• Address energy needs
• Maintain feed intake
• Deliver more milk during times of heat stress
In a Purina Animal Nutrition research trial, transition cows fed Purina® Rally® Dairy Feed showed4:
• Improvement in daily milk — an average of 6.5 lbs• Increase in dry matter intake

PDC7112SS (REV3 04/16)
Data from the University of Missouri and Purina Animal Nutrition showed feeding PURINA® RALLY® DAIRY FEED during times of heat stress5:
• Improved milk production potential.
• Increased dry matter intake and feed efficiency.
• Lowered non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) postpartum as well as during lactation.4
• Reduced beta-hydroxybutyrate levels.
Research results continue to highlight the
benefits of feeding Purina® Rally® Dairy Feed
during periods of heat stress. The addition of
Purina® Rally® Dairy Feed to diets, especially
during warm seasons, can improve milk yield
and dry matter intake in transition, early, and
mid lactation cows.
Driving additional peak milk yield may lead
to better performance for the entire lactation
as those cows enter the cooler seasons.
