• WHAT’ THE NEED OF SUCH A DEVICE ?
1. LARGE BODY WEIGHT OF THE ANIMALS
2. WHENEVER AN INJURED ANIMAL TRIES TO GET UP, SUDDEN TRANSFER OF LARGE BODY WEIGHT TO INJURED PART OCCURES, WHICH AGGRAVATES THE INJURY
3. ANIMAL BECOMES RECUMBENT

Keeping cows in their thermoneutral zone – 41 and 68 F degrees– can minimize the impact of seasonal changes on milk production, reproduction, feed efficiency
Heat stress not only lowers milk productionduring summer months but also reduces the potential for future milk production.
Why heat ameliorative Why heat ameliorative measures are required?measures are required?

“These adaptations are necessary to maintain a stable core body temperature, but they effect nutrient utilization and profitability on dairy farms.”
When housed in an environment beyond their thermoneutral zone, they adapt by altering their behavior and physiology

Herd reproductive performance depends on cows being accurately detected in heat and achieving adequate conception rates when they are presented for artificial breeding to superiorprogeny tested bulls.
![Page 61: Machinery for Animal Welfare & Veterinary Care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54804324b4af9f8e578b484b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Our eyes are detectors which are designed to detect visible light waves (or visible radiation). There are forms of light (or radiation) which we
cannot see. Actually we can only see a very small part of the entire range of radiation called
the electromagnetic spectrum
Possibility of non-invasive diagnosis of estrus in
buffaloes based on body temperature profile.
![Page 62: Machinery for Animal Welfare & Veterinary Care](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061205/54804324b4af9f8e578b484b/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Infrared can be used as a way to measure the heat radiated by an object. This is the radiation produced by the motion of atoms and molecules in an object. The higher the
temperature, the more the atoms and molecules move and the more infrared they produce. Any object which has a
temperature i.e. anything above absolute zero (-459.67 degrees Fahrenheit or -273.15 degrees Celsius or 0 degrees
Kelvin), radiates in the infrared.

Objectives: •To observe out side temperature body
profiles of the buffaloes/cows at different stages of their lactation.
•To observe temperature profiles during estrus cycle in buffaloes/cows.
•To standardize a temperature profile indicative of peak of estrus cycle in buffaloes.
