Telemetry System for Measuring Core Body Temperature in Livestock and Poultry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Core body temperature is an important measure of animal thermal stress and thermoregulation. A shortrange telemetry system was evaluated in poultry, beef, and dairy cattle. This system provides good temperature accuracy, excellent temperature resolution, and adequate response time. However, this system would need some improvement before it could be implemented into the livestock industry.
