S. Nuske, INVESTIGATIONS ON THE CHANGE OF SKIN TEMP ERATURE IN THE AREA OF ACUPUNCTURE POINTS CORRELATED WITH THE FEMALE GENITAL SYSTEM OF DAIRY-COWS, Wiener Tierarztliche Monatschrift, 83(2), 1996, pp. 51-59
In 56 German Simmental and Holstein Friesian cows non-contact skin tem
perature measurements with infrared thermometry have been taken in the
area of acupuncture points correlated to the female genital system. S
kin temperature in the area of acupuncture points is markedly differen
t to the temperature of non-acupuncture points in the same area. The p
ositive or negative deviation and the range of temperature differences
to non-acupuncture points do not allow any significant diagnostic int
erpretation.
