摘要
The reaction of heart rate of six Simmental oxen to draught work was recorded continuously with a portable data-acquisition system. A pulse sensor is described which enables detailed recordings to be made of the response of the heart to physical parameters without interference while the animal is standing or working. The mean draught force (N) exerted by the oxen was numerically equal to between 0·38 times and 1·02 times the body weight (kg) of the animals. Heart rate for animals standing was between 54 and 62 beats/min and reached peaks of 186 beats/min during exercise trials. © 1993 Silsoe Research Institute.
