Abstract
1. 1.|We have investigated how the episodic secretion of sweat in heat-exposed goats affects the temperature of the fur, the skin surface and deep skin regions. 2. 2.|Each peak in sweating was followed immediately by heating of the fur surface above T a and cooling of the shaved skin surface below T a. Cooling in deep skin regions was delayed. The average temperature change produced by a sweat peak was similar in skin beneath furred and shaved surfaces. 3. 3.|We conclude that episodic sweating leads to the generation of heat in the pelage of goats. This heat does not appear to impair the rate of evaporative heat loss from the skin surface.
