Abstract

The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of ambient temperature and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) on biothermal distribution and behavioral activity of calves. Clinical disease diagnoses are often based on the interpretation of body temperatures which may vary with environmental conditions. Further, calf biothermal response following LPS exposure may vary under different ambient conditions.
