Heat production, body temperature and body posture in West African Dwarf goats infected with Trypanosoma vivax

The relationships between heat production, body temperature, and body posture (standing/lying) were studied in goats suffering from trypanosomiasis. Sixteen goats were selected and infected with 1 × 106 Trypanosoma vivax parasites and 8 goats served as controls. In week 2, 4, and 6 after infection h...

Zusammenfassung:	The relationships between heat production, body temperature, and body posture (standing/lying) were studied in goats suffering from trypanosomiasis. Sixteen goats were selected and infected with 1 × 106 Trypanosoma vivax parasites and 8 goats served as controls. In week 2, 4, and 6 after infection heat production, body posture, and body temperature were measured at 15-minute intervals. Heat production was higher (P
