Measurement of horse core body temperature. Telemetry based systems for measuring core body temperature in livestock and poultry were developed 3233 as well as technologies for body temperature measurements in beef cattle 3435 dairy. 10c greater gt vs. Temperatures that are higher than this may indicate that there is an infection present somewhere in the horses body. It should be noted however that a horses body temperature can rise by three degrees and sometimes more in certain environmental or working conditions. Four css medical cases were evaluated with the newly validated esophageal temperature method facilitating diagnosis of hypothermia. Measurement of horse core body temperature 1.
Common methods for monitoring core body temperature cbt include. Simultaneous measurement of cbt via the gt rt. The esophageal measurements were consistent with manatee core body temperature facilitating generation of a reference interval for core body temperature in healthy manatees 350358 c. Eight mature geldings were used in this study. The normal body temperature for a horse is usually between 99 101f. And telemetry based gastrointestinal temperature gt.
Objectives of this study were to compare three methods of cbt measurement determine the variability in cbt within and among horses exposed to ambient conditions to determine the average clearance rate of the telemetry sensor through the.
