Abstract

AT œstrus the cow's body temperature is elevated without detriment to subsequent fertilization1,2. Increased locomotory activity may partly account for the thermal response, but attention has also been directed to other metabolic changes at œstrus. Some evidence has been obtained that œstrogens may influence the cow's body temperature (Fallon, unpublished). It was decided to examine the effect of stilbœstrol on the rectal temperature of the ewe.
