Abstract
Core body temperature is an important measure of animal thermal stress and thermoregulation. A short-range telemetry system was evaluated in poultry, beef, and dairy cattle. This system provides good temperature accuracy, excellent temperature resolution, and adequate response time. However, this system would need some improvement before it could be implemented into the livestock industry.
