摘要:
The deep body temperature in mammalian female stock, such as cows, is monitored using a battery powered radio telemetric temperature measuring device (26) of a size adapted for insertion into the uterine canal (18) carried by an expandable anchor (10) of approximately the same size in its collapsed condition as the telemetric device (26). The anchor (10) is collapsed and inserted along with the telemetric device (26) attached thereto into the vagina (18) to a depth where the assembly (24) thus formed lies adjacent the cervix (14). The anchor (10) is expanded in situ, and the temperature is then monitored daily from a remote external location.
