Aluminum shade boosts livestock gains in hot weather
Iowa State College findings show aluminum shelter provides superior solar heat relief for cattle, hogs, dairy cattle, and poultry, improving weight gain and earlier market finish. In field tests Morton Brothers saw cattle under aluminum gain 9.37 lb per head more in 42 days and finish two weeks earlier, earning higher value. Similar results are noted by the State Soil Conservation Commission and U S Geological Survey.
