Shorn and unshorn Awassi sheep I. Body temperature

摘要: 1. The rectal temperatures of shorn and unshorn Awassi sheep were measured at various hours the day during seasons year in two different locations Israel.2. An increase body temperature accompanied an environmental temperature. A steeper was noted kept shade. When ambient below 30° C. lower than that by average 0·16° C.3. above equal to or higher ones.4. Upon exposure direct sunlight, exceeded animals. However, when animals transferred shade, after sunset, cooled a faster rate. Their fell cool day.5. Wind velocity, both shade sun, had greater effect on sheep.6. rise relative humidity 25° caused rise, particularly ones maintained hot dry environment.7. While entirely affected macroclimate, greatly influenced microclimate existing fleece. Fleece always lagged behind rarely temperatures. Since it postulated heat tolerance certain related their ability exploit day, is suggested ‘tolerance tests’ records should be taken not only but also day.
