dc.description.abstract | <p>This study evaluated the relationship between rectal temperature (T<sub>REC</sub>, ◦C) and vaginal temperature (T<sub>VAG</sub>, ◦C) in grazing <i>Bos taurus</i> heifers, to develop an understanding of the reliability of these measures as estimates of core body temperature. Nineteen Angus heifers (BW = 232.2 ± 6.91 kg) were implanted with intra-rectal and intra-vaginal data loggers. Rectal temperature and T<sub>VAG</sub> were simultaneously recorded at 20 s intervals over 18.5 h. Heifers were housed as a singular cohort on grazing pastures for the duration of the study. A strong linear relationship (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.72, <i>p</i> < 0.0001) between the measurement sites was identified. The mean difference between T<sub>REC</sub> and T<sub>VAG</sub> was small, in which T<sub>VAG</sub> was on average 0.22 ± 0.01 ◦C lower than T<sub>REC</sub>. Individual twenty second T<sub>REC</sub> and T<sub>VAG</sub> data were used to determine the pooled mean T<sub>REC</sub> and T<sub>VAG</sub> and then to highlight the within measure variation over time. The coefficient of variation was, on average, lower (p < 0.001) for T<sub>VAG</sub> (0.38%) than T<sub>REC</sub> (0.44%), indicating that T<sub>VAG</sub> exhibited less variation. Overall, the results from the current study suggest that a strong relationship exists between T<sub>REC</sub> and T<sub>VAG</sub>, and that T<sub>VAG</sub> may be a more reliable estimate of core body temperature than T<sub>REC</sub> in grazing <i>Bos taurus</i> heifers.</p> | en |
