Suitability of Different Thermometers for Measuring Body Core and Skin Temperatures in Suckling Piglets
Monitoring the temperature of piglets after birth is critical to ensure their well-being. Rectal temperature measurement is time-consuming, requires fixation of the animal and is stressful for piglets. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of infrared thermometry and thermography as compared...
