Assessing Consistency in Radiated Thermal Output of Beef Steers by Infrared Thermography

Assessing Consistency in Radiated Thermal Output of Beef Steers by Infrared Thermography

Measurements of radiated thermal output are claimed to reflect the metabolic efficiency of mammals. This is important in food-producing animals because a measure of metabolic efficiency may translate to desirable characteristics, such as growth efficiency or residual feed intake, and permit the grou...
