Systems and methods provide sugar alcohol to heat stressed ruminants to improve performance. During periods of high temperature or humidity, heat stressed ruminants may exhibit decreased dry matter intake, and in response, an effective amount of sugar alcohol such as sorbitol may be provided in the ruminant diet to cause performance to increase, which may include increased milk yield, improved feed efficiency or both compared to heat stressed dairy cattle without sugar alcohol in the diet.

1. A method of feeding a transition ruminant during a transition phase defined by a period during which the ruminant is pregnant and extending through calving by the ruminant, the method comprising: during pregnancy, feeding the transition ruminant a diet comprising sugar alcohol in view of a potent
1. A method of feeding a transition ruminant during a transition phase defined by a period during which the ruminant is pregnant and extending through calving by the ruminant, the method comprising: during pregnancy, feeding the transition ruminant a diet comprising sugar alcohol in view of a potential for the transition ruminant to experience heat stress, wherein the potential for heat stress is one or more of historical weather patterns, short-term weather forecasts or observed temperature conditions of at least 70° F.; anddetermining the transition ruminant is experiencing heat stress by observing one or more of elevated internal body temperature, open mouth breathing, increased panting, or sweating,wherein the sugar alcohol is ingested in an amount in the diet effective to improve performance after calving, wherein the improved performance comprises one or more of increased milk production, increased dry matter intake, increased weight gain, or an improved milk-to-feed ratio, andwherein the sugar alcohol comprises at least one of sorbitol, xylitol, adonitol, allitol, altritol, arabitol, dulcitol, erythritol, galactitol, glucitol, iditol, inositol, isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol, perseitol, ribitol, rhamnitol or threitol. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising one or more of: cooling an environment in which the heat stressed transition ruminant resides, orcooling the heat stressed transition ruminant using an evaporative cooling method. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the improved performance comprises an improved milk-to-feed ratio. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sugar alcohol is sorbitol. 5. A method of feeding a lactating ruminant, the method comprising: during a period of ambient temperature conditions of at least 70° F., determining the lactating ruminant is experiencing heat stress by observing one of an about 10 percent decrease in dry matter intake, reduced milk production, increased respirations, elevated internal body temperature, open mouth breathing, increased panting, sweating or failed reproduction; andfeeding the heat stressed lactating ruminant a diet comprising an amount of sugar alcohol effective to improve performance, wherein the improved performance comprises one or more of increased milk production, increased dry matter intake, increased weight gain, or an improved milk-to-feed ratio,wherein the sugar alcohol comprises at least one of sorbitol, xylitol, adonitol, allitol, altritol, arabitol, dulcitol, erythritol, galactitol, glucitol, iditol, inositol, isomalt, lactitol, maltitol, mannitol, perseitol, ribitol, rhamnitol or threitol. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the heat stressed lactating ruminant is a heat stressed mid-lactation phase ruminant defined by a period of about 100 to about 200 days in milk. 7. The method of claim 6, further comprising one or more of: cooling an environment in which the heat stressed mid-lactation phase ruminant resides, orcooling the heat stressed mid-lactation phase ruminant using an evaporative cooling method. 8. The method of claim 5, wherein the heat stressed lactating ruminant is a heat stressed post-peak phase ruminant. 9. The method of claim 5, wherein the sugar alcohol is sorbitol.
