Determination of piglets' rectal temperature and respiratory rate through skin surface temperature under climatic chamber conditions
(2015-01-01)
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 ...
Skin temperature of piglets as a biosensor for controlling the heating system in creeps with low power consumption
(2021-10-01)
A new technology, which uses suckling piglets as biosensors for the control of heating systems in creeps, is shown to be feasible regarding the thermal point of view and efficient use of electricity. This study describes ...
Incubation and rearing temperature effects on Hsp70 levels and heat stress response in broilers
(Agricultural Inst Canada, 2003-06-01)
Incubation temperature (IT) was changed to evaluate if 6-wk-old birds become more tolerant to heat stress. After 13 d of incubation, 470 eggs were submitted to low (36.8degreesC), normal (37.8degreesC) and high (38.8degreesC) ...
Effect of High Incubation Temperature on the Blood Parameters of Layer Chicks
(Facta-fundacio Arnco Ciencia Tecnologia Avicolas, 2016-10-01)
Adequate environmental temperature control is essential for incubation efficiency. Layer breeder eggs (n=360) were weighed and distributed in a completely randomized experimental design with two treatments, consisting of ...
The application of a new temperature controllable spectroelectrochemical cell to the study of electrochromic polymers.
(Soc Brasileira QuimicaSao PauloBrasil, 1998)
Preoperative combined with intraoperative skin-surface warming avoids hypothermia caused by general anesthesia and surgery
(2003-03-01)
Study Objectives: To evaluate the effects of intraoperative skin-surface warming with and without 1 hour of preoperative warming, in preventing intraoperative hypothermia, and postoperative hypothermia, and shivering, and ...
Environmental temperature affects the dynamics of ingestion in the nectivorous ant Camponotus mus
(Elsevier, 2014-10)
Environmental temperature influences physiology and behavior in animals in general and is particularly determinant in ectotherms. Not least because temperature defines metabolism and body temperature, muscle activity in ...
The influence of temperature on the behavior of burrowing in larvae of the blowflies, Chrysomya albiceps and Lucilia cuprina, under controlled conditions
(Univ Arizona, 2009-04-21)
Blowflies use discrete, ephemeral substrates for larval development. After exhaustion of the food supply, larvae will disperse in search of sites to burrow and pupate or will seek other sources of food in a process known ...
The influence of temperature on the behavior of burrowing in larvae of the blowflies, Chrysomya albiceps and Lucilia cuprina, under controlled conditions
(2009-02-04)
Blowflies use discrete, ephemeral substrates for larval development. After exhaustion of the food supply, larvae will disperse in search of sites to burrow and pupate or will seek other sources of food in a process known ...
Effect of temperature on development and population growth of Acarophenax lacunatus (Cross and Krantz) (Prostigmata: Acarophenacidae) on Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae)
(2001-02-01)
The parasitic mite Acarophenax lacunatus kills the eggs upon which it feeds and seems to have potential as a biological control agent of stored grain pests. The lack of biological studies on this mite species led to the ...
