A model is presented for the respiratory heat loss in sheep, considering both the sensible heat lost by convection (C-R) and the latent heat eliminated by evaporation (E-R). A practical method is described for the estimation ...

Accurate measurements of gas exchange between an animal and its environment is critical in determining metabolic heat production and respiratory functions of broilers. Information on non-invasive methods to measure gas ...

The general principles of the mechanisms of heat transfer are well known, but knowledge of the transition between evaporative and non-evaporative heat loss by Holstein cows in field conditions must be improved, especially ...

Water conservation is challenging for terrestrial life since water is continuously lost through respiration, excretion, and cutaneous evaporation. Total evaporative water loss (TEWL) is an important component of the water ...

Subterranean rodents face unique thermoregulatory challenges. Evaporative water loss (EWL) is a crucial mechanism for maintaining heat balance in endotherms subjected to heat stress but also leads to potential dehydration. ...

Closed colorimetric paper disc chambers and flow-through ventilated capsules are the most employed methods of measuring rates of local cutaneous evaporative water loss in cattle. However, we do not know if these methods ...
