Ontario livestock producers now have access to a free smart phone app to help them calculate the level of heat stress in their animals.
Producers can use the app to input the temperature and the relative humidity in their smartphone.
The app will calculate the level of heat stress and link the producer to various management options they can use to reduce that stress.
The app was jointly developed by the University of Guelph, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food and the Ministry of Rural Affairs.
It covers 7 types of livestock.
And it’s available from Google Play or Blackberry Marketplace.
