Abstract
Measurements have been made of temperatures on the surface of the udder, the back under the fleece, the exremities, and of the body core in sheep. The temperature on the surface of the udder changes very little in response to changes in ambient temperature, and, unlike the temperature on the back, and of the body core, there was no evidence of a 24 h variation. It is concluded that the udder does not function as an organ of controlled heat loss in sheep.
