Variation of rectal temperature and respirations per minute in buffalo calves at 9 A.M. and 2 P.M. under different types of roof materials. (A) Rectal temperature of calves. It is shown that all the roofs, except for the asbestos roof, have the highest temperature at 2 P.M, with a difference of up to 0.25 °C compared to that presented at 9 A.M. Likewise, it is observed that the buffaloes under the pre-painted CGI sheet roof and galvanized iron sheet roof have the highest temperatures in both hours, while the lowest temperature is recorded in buffaloes under thatch with polythene shading roof, with a difference of 0.5.°C in comparison with the pre-painted CGI sheet roof. (B) Breaths per minute. Observe the difference in respirations shown at different times of the day. Thatch with polythene shading roof recorded 8.4 breaths per minute, which is less than those expressed with the galvanized iron sheet roof at 2 P.M.
