Short communication: Repeatability of measures of rectal temperature in dairy cows
Although taking body temperature by rectal thermometer is the method most commonly used to identify sick cows in the postpartum period, no data on the repeatability of this measure are available. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate variability of rectal temperatures in dairy cows considering different factors (intra- and interinvestigator repeatability, different […]

Physiological variables of horses after road transport
In order to investigate the effects of short road transport stress on total and free iodothyronines, body weight (BW), rectal temperature and heart rate (HR) changes, 126 healthy stallions were studied in basal conditions, before and after transport. A total of 60 Thoroughbred and 66 crossbred stallions aged 4 to 15 years with previous travelling […]
Evaluation of secondary stress biomarkers during road transport in rabbit
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of road transport, excluding the effect of cages, on rectal temperature (RT), glucose, lactate, packed cell volume (PCV) and total proteins (TP) in rabbits. The animals were divided into three groups of 10 subjects: Group A was transported into plastic transport crates by road for […]
