In hot weather, animals spend more energy keeping their body temperature down. The result is reduced appetite, disturbed water and electrolyte balance and a measurable drop in performance – effects that are magnified when humidity is high.
Sweating and panting strip sodium, potassium and chloride from the body. If those losses are not replaced, animals become lethargic, eat less and lose ground on milk yield or growth.
Gold Summer Formula was developed for exactly this situation. Its electrolyte-focused mineral profile helps maintain balance and appetite, and because it is offered free-choice, each animal takes what it needs as conditions change through the day.
Position the bucket in shade, with good airflow and close to water. A well-chosen site keeps intake consistent through the summer and helps soften the impact of heat stress.
