Figures & data

Figure 1. Rectal temperatures were measured at three times using digital thermometer in without cooling (n = 9) and short-term cooling group (16) of Murrah buffalo heifers. Bars with different superscript within a group (a and b) and between the groups (A and B) differ significantly (P < 0.05).

Figure 2. Vaginal temperatures in without cooling (n = 9) and short-term cooling group (16) of Murrah buffalo heifers were measured at three times using digital thermometer. Bars with different superscript within a group (a and b) and between the groups (A and B) differ significantly (P < 0.05).

Figure 3. Peripheral blood plasma cortisol concentrations before and after 3 h of AI in without cooling (n = 9) and short-term cooling group (n = 16) of Murrah buffalo heifers. Bars with different superscript within a group (a and b) and between the groups (A and B) differ significantly (P < 0.05).
