Figure 4From: Daily and estrous rhythmicity of body temperature in domestic cattleParameters of the estrous rhythm of body temperature. Values shown are means ± SEM of three parameters of the estrous rhythm of body temperature of 8 cows (robustness, mean level, and range of excursion), as computed for measurements conducted at dawn (dark bars) and dusk (clear bars) during the winter and summer. For this type of data (3 estrous cycles with daily measurements), a QP value of 60 corresponds to a perfectly rhythmic process.Back to article page
