Scientific findings related to changes in vascular microcirculation using infrared thermography in the river buffalo

Aldo Bertoni, Daniel Mota-Rojas, et al.

Periocular, lacrimal caruncle, muzzle, and lateral region thermal windows in the river buffalo. A) Periocular region. According to Barros et al (2016) and de Ruediger et al (2018), this region best reflects the rectal temperature and is least affected by ambient temperature. In the thermogram obtained at an emissivity of 0.95, this region is circled by an ellipse that spans the entire eyeball. B) Lacrimal caruncle. This is one of the areas most-extensively studied with IRT because it can be a good indicator of changes in body temperature attributed to the sympathetic responses of the autonomous nervous system (Travain et al 2015). In the thermogram, this area is signaled by a point placed in the center of the caruncle. C) Muzzle. According to de Ruediger et al (2018), the muzzle reflects the rectal temperature quickly and precisely and involves a less invasive procedure, so it can be used to study the thermal comfort of female dairy buffaloes. The thermogram shows three circles around the periphery of the muzzle with two marking the nostrils. It is important to mention that taking rostral thermographic images also makes it possible to evaluate oral temperature by placing an ellipse around the auricular pavilion. D) Lateral region. Barros et al (2016) point out that both the right and left flanks can be utilized as thermal windows if, for some reason, it is difficult to analyze the orbital region. This procedure, however, requires considering that the left flank presents an elevated preprandial temperature (Montanholi et al 2008). In the thermogram, this region is signaled by a checkered rectangle.
