DATA-BASED STATISTICAL MODELLING OF BODY-TEMPERATURE OUT OF INFRARED IMAGED SKIN-TEMPERATURE

摘要

Variation of deep body- and skin-temperature on an individual Belgian Landrace piglet is examined during the total 11-day evolution of a respiratory infection disease by respectively telemetric deep body-temperature registration and contactless infrared-imaging of the animal free movement area. The described research is aimed firstly to show a relationship between deep body- and skin-temperature and secondly to model deep body-temperature out of skin-temperature by applying local linear smoothing to the experimental data-base.
