Revealing the diversity of internal body temperature and panting response for feedlot cattle under environmental thermal stress
Abstract Core body temperature (CBT) regulation is crucial for mammalian wellbeing and survival. Cattle pant to dissipate excess heat to regulate CBT when ambient conditions exceed thermoneutral zones. However, to date, neither the variability in cattle heat response, the lagged response of CBT to t...
