<p>Systems and methods for monitoring body temperature of warm-blooded organisms such as domestic animals, in particular chickens, turkeys and laying hens. The methods comprise obtaining thermal data, at a single or a plurality of locations in an area housing the population, and analyzing the data so as to determine the body temperature of at least one organism in the population. If an anomalous body temperature is detected, indicating hypothermia or hyperthermia, a control system is activated which generates an environmental change aimed at modifying the organism's temperature. Measurements of the organism's temperature may be performed non-invasively by obtaining thermal data from an external body surface using e.g. thermal imaging, or by temperature transmitters implanted in at least some of the organisms.</p> |
