ISSUE FOCUS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE July 2025 43 Sangrovit® supplementation led to improved feed efficiency and rumen stability in heat-stress conditions. Based on science Numerous studies show that the true value of Sangrovit® unfolds in periods of increased stress. Feed change, medical treatments, heat stress – the challenges are as manifold as our animals and production systems.

An agronomist from the Federal University of Goiás in Brazil, he is passionate about the animal industry and the use of plant-based solutions to enhance animal performance, improve nutrition, and support sustainability and animal welfare. About Julia Schmitt Holding a Master’s degree in Livestock Science from Justus Liebig University Giessen, Germany, Julia Schmitt brings 17 years of science-driven experience in the phytogenic feed additive industry. Her work is focused on advancing gut health, elucidating anti-inflammatory mechanisms, and promoting animal welfare and stress reduction through natural feed solutions. was significantly reduced in the IQs-supplemented group (6.9% vs. 0%, respectively). As a consequence, a return of investment of 5.5 could be realized in the IQs group. For optimal efficiency, IQs should be given an adaptation period of minimum 6, preferably 8, weeks. Hot days and heat waves will occur more often in the future and trigger heat stress in dairy cows. Husbandry and nutritional actions need to be taken to diminish the animals’ discomfort and secure performance and health. Actual data showed that IQs improved the resilience of dairy cows to elevated higher ambient temperatures in combination with a DON-contaminated TMR and can therefore contribute to a concept that achieves both: Elevated animal welfare and a stable production.
