Determination of piglets’ rectal temperature and respiratory rate through skin surface temperature under climatic chamber conditions
ABSTRACT In animal farming, an automatic and precise control of environmental conditions needs information from variables derived from the animals themselves, i.e. they act as biosensors. Rectal temperature (RT) and respiratory rate (RR) are good indicators of thermoregulation in pigs. Since there i...
