Feed Comfort™

Comfort™ is a feed additive that keeps your cows cool from the inside out. Made with a blend of essential oils and capsicum, Comfort targets the root cause of heat stress-related production losses: internal physiological stress. 

With Comfort you can keep cows cooler on the inside, so they maintain feed intake and milk production all summer long.

Comfort helps: 

  • Minimize performance losses due to heat stress
  • Maintain gut health to help maintain consistent feed intake
  • Provide antioxidant support to protect tissues and organs from stress
  • Support normal insulin and glucose levels for higher milk production
  • Stimulate water intake to help animals better cope with high heat indexes and maintain hydration levels

Why Cows Love Comfort

A study conducted during May and June in Florida during intense heat and humidity showed that cows fed Comfort were better able to abate heat and maintain performance over control cows. 

Comfort cows: 

  • Increased average daily feed intake by 5.5% while control cows significantly backed off feed
  • Maintained feed intake as heat indexes increased while control cows declined
  • Increased milk production on average by 1.85 lbs. over control cows

Another study done using infrared thermometer showed that dairy cows fed Comfort kept them several degrees cooler than control cows.

What Producers Are Saying

"Our milk production losses were significantly less than the surrounding dairies"

"I noticed our cows were less agitated and spent more time at the feed bunks than years past. Our milk production losses were significantly less than the surrounding dairies not feeding Comfort. Our cows also seemed to bounce back way faster after extreme heat events." – Southern Oregon Dairy Farmer
