Automated collection of heat stress data

Automated phenotyping technologies to measure body temperature provide a new tool to manage livestock. Due to large animal-to-animal variation, measurement at the animal level is useful to manage heat stress and disease. New technologies and opportunities are emerging. Animals may have elevated body temperature due to illness, injury, heat stress, toxin exposure, or other health-related issues. However, only after the elevated body temperature has been observed are the effects of these stressor
