Extract

Recently, radiotelemetry has been widely used in the measurements of various physiological attributes, e.g. body and skin temperatures, heart rate and heat flux across the surface in unrestrained animals (Zervanos & Hadley, 1973; Moen, 1978; Mautz & Fair, 1980). The present note provides some basic information on heat flux across the skin in untethered black Marwari goats of the Rajasthan desert, measured by radiotelemetry during winter.
