... to detect the estrus of gilts. Seven gilts (129.21±2.51kg) were considered for this experiment. Each gilt was fed 5 ml of synthetic progesterone for 18 days, and the anus temperature was measured using the contact thermometer, non-contact infrared thermometer, and DITI camera FLIR E76. The temperature of the vulva during proestrus and estrus was measured using a DITI camera FLIR E76. As a result, there was no signifi...
