Use Of Animal Thermometers

Use of Animal Thermometers1. Tie a string about 10-15 cm long to the far end of the animal thermometer, and tie a small iron clip to the other end of the string for fixation.

2. When measuring body temperature, first shake the mercury column of the thermometer slightly to 35℃ below the scale line, apply a little lubricating oil on the thermometer, and then grasp the tail of the animal in one hand, and insert the thermometer into the working door slightly to the back direction, and fix the hair above the tail with a small iron clip.

3. After 5-10 minutes, take out the thermometer and wipe it with an alcohol cotton ball. Hold the distal end of the thermometer in the right hand in a horizontal direction at eye level, so that the side with the scale is facing the eye.

4. The standard body temperature of animals is slightly different from that of human beings. Take pigs as an example, the normal body temperature of pigs is 38-39.5℃. The normal body temperature of piglets is 0.5℃ higher than that of adult pigs.

Precautions for using an animal thermometer

1. For animals that have just undergone strenuous exercise, temperature measurement should be carried out after proper rest.

2. For temperamental animals, you can gently scratch the back with your fingers first, and then insert the thermometer into the rectum after standing or lying quietly.

3. For large or temperamental animals, it is necessary to do appropriate comfort and then temperature measurement.

4. When measuring the body temperature of newborn animals, the thermometer should not be inserted into the anus too deep. It should be fixed by grasping the end of the thermometer with your hand.
