We have introduced the UK’s first Dairy Heat Stress Insurance product, which has been developed with Skyline Partners and is underwritten by Markel, to protect your business from the some of the financial impacts of extreme weather.
As temperatures and humidity levels rise, heat stress can lead to decreased milk production, reduced fertility, and higher susceptibility to disease. But how do these factors translate into actual financial losses?
As summers become hotter and weather patterns more unpredictable, heat stress is an issue no dairy farmer can afford to ignore. With a well-thought-out management plan, farmers can mitigate these impacts and keep their herds productive and healthy.
From unpredictable weather to rising temperatures, the risks to productivity and profitability are growing. For dairy farmers, one of the most pressing issues is heat stress, and addressing it requires innovative solutions.
