Stress is the body reaction to environmental changes which causes impairment of homeostatic control mechanisms in the organism. Heat stress is one of the most important stress factors. Cow exposure to heat stress during the summer months leads to increased incidence of health disorders, like acropodium health disorders. The main reason for increased susceptibility of cows to laminitis during the summer season is increased incidence of acidosis, which is the most important laminits etiopatogenetic factor. Besides, changes in animal behavior during summer, especially longer standing of cows during summer days, predispose cows to acropodium health disorders. In conclusion, the goal of improvement of ambiental factors on farms during the summer season, is to decrease the negative effects of heat stress in lactating cows, thus decreasing the incidence of laminitis.
