Table 2.
Clustering results based on the individual slopes of respiration rate (RR) and body temperature (BT) in dry cows, with respect to THI.
| Items | Heat-tolerant | Heat-sensitive | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean | Standard deviation | Mean | Standard deviation | |
| RR (bpm/THI) | 2.55 | 0.27 | 1.70 | 0.38 |
| BT (°C/THI) | 0.17 | 0.05 | 0.16 | 0.03 |
Heat-tolerant dry cows: n = 19, heat-sensitive dry cows: n = 47.
