Spatial modeling via geostatistics and infrared thermography of the skin temperature of dairy cows in a compost barn system in the Brazilian semiarid region

The aim of the study was i) to determine the spatial variability of the skin temperature of dairy cows in a compost system and ii) to evaluate the thermal comfort conditions of confined animals. Skin temperature (Tskin,°C) was recorded in three animals at 9:00 am (morning) and the measurement was re...
