Future research on animal temperatures using electronic equipment
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5727361
Available literature on animal temperature is reviewed and research priorities, using newly developed electronic identification and temperature-sensing equipment, are suggested. Applications to beef-cattle, dairy-cattle, and swine operations receive major attention. Skepticism of existing temperature data obtained with rectal thermometers is expressed. Physiological control of animal temperature is described as is the new monitoring technology (transponders and battery-operated radio transmitters). Primary emphasis is given to the diseases and managerial applications where temperature monitoring equipment is likely to be most profitable.
