This study aimed at investigating the pattern of 6 behavioral parameters in Holstein dairy cows under heat stress (HS) conditions using a Generalized Additive Mixed Model (GAMM) statistical approach, while also evaluating the effectiveness of a commercial electrolyte, osmolyte, and antioxidant blend in mitigating HS-induced adverse effects. The trial was conducted during a severe Italian summer on 84 multiparous dairy cows in the Central Italy, divided into 4 balanced groups (2 treated and 2 control) of 21 cows each. All animals received the same diet, and the treatment groups were supplemented with 3,150 g/d of the additive.
