Extract

1. A radio-telemetric system linked to a thermistor- probe embedded in deep muscular tissue has been used to record continuously variations in deep-body temperature during 46–66 hr. in three Hereford (temperate) and three East African zebu (tropical) cows under similar temperate field conditions.

2. The limitations of the ‘probe’ technique for measuring deep-body temperature are discussed.
