THI pattern at 06:00, 14:00, 22:00 and mean during the different heat stress condition experimental periods
We collected serum samples at August 16, 2013, September 24, 2013, and October 12, 2013. The THI averages were 81.7, 78.0, and 68.9, respectively. Thresholds for moderate heat stress, mild heat stress, and no heat stress are from Armstrong (1994)
