how to check the temperature of a cow
The cow should be adequately restrained using a crush, the thermometer inserted into the rectum and pressed up against the mucosa (lining) of the rectum. The normal temperature of an adult cow is around 38.5Â°C (approx 101.5Â°F. A temperature over 39.5Â°C (103Â°F) may indicate an infectious or inflammatory process.
