Reduce heat stress by adding fat and amino acids to ration
By University of Missouri researchers - When summer temperatures rise, pigs being finished for market don't eat as much. That cuts feed efficiency and increases days to market.

Pigs fed modified diets in environmental chambers, under heat stress, at the University of Missouri have shown a way to keep pigs growing, right on through the hot, humid days of summer.
