As a cow's body temperature Increases she tends to experience a depressed appetite resulting in less Intake of total feed. This leads to: A. A Drop in Milk Production. B. Depressed Butterfat Levels. C. Reduced Reproductive Performance. D. All of the Above and none are Beneficial. Thermolass, with it’s high level of sugars provides a “quick-release" source of energy. In addi tion. Thermolass has proven to be a stimulant in increasing the cows appetite and aids In In creasing rumen activity resulting in: A. Increased net energy content of the total diet. B. Increased digestibility performance. The extra, “quick-release* energy. Increased appetite, and stimulated rumen activity translates into healthy cows producing more milk and maintaining or slightly improving butterfat levels.
