CHAPTER VI RESPIRATION The number of respirations per minute varies with the different classes of animals; as a rule, the larger the animal, the slower the respiration. The Horse 8 to 10 Cattle 12 to 15 Sheep and Goats 12 to 20 The Dog 15 to 20 Swine 10 to 15 The rate of breathing is increased from the processes of digestion immediately after eating, or may increase from exercise. NORMAL TEMPERATURE OF THE HORSE From 2 to 5 years old the temperature is 100.6 degrees Fahr. From 5 to 10 years old the temperature is 100.4 degrees Fahr. From 10 to 15 years old the temperature is 100 degrees Fahr. From 15 to 20 years old the temperature is 98.4 to 100.2 degrees Fahr. Sex appears to slightly influence temperature: Stallion 100 degrees Fahr. Mare 100.8 degrees Fahr. Gelding 100.4 degrees Fahr. The time of day when temperature is taken is important, the lowest body temperature being at 4 a.m., and the highest at 6 p.m. New born foals' temperature will run from 102 to 104 degrees Fahr. TEMPERATURE OF CATTLE Normal temperature is from 101.8 to 102 degrees Fahr. Compared with the horse, the daily variations are small. TEMPERATURE OF SHEEP AND GOATS In these animals the greatest variation in temperature occurs, viz.: 100.9 to 105.8 degrees Fahr. In the majority of cases the temperature probably will be between 103.6 and 104.4 degrees Fahr. The cause of this variation is unknown. TEMPERATURE OF SWINE The average temperature is 103.3 degrees Fahr., varying from 100.9 to 105.4 degrees Fahr. TEMPERATURE OF THE DOG The dog is subject to important variations depending on the external temperature; it varies from 99.5 to 101.7 degrees Fahr., although in some localities it is as high as 100.9, 101.3 and 101.7 degrees Fahr. Feeding will increase the temperature, and it is also higher toward evening.
