Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the impact of rumen-protected methionine (RPM) supplementation on the body temperature and conception rates of Nelore cows in high heat and humidity conditions.
- 562 lactating cows were divided into two groups: one received RPM supplements, while the other did not, for a duration of 77 days prior to artificial insemination.
- Results showed that RPM supplementation helped lower internal body temperatures during peak heat hours, but it did not significantly affect the cows' conception rates.
