I will provide a search-optimized answer about how to check a horse’s body temperature for cold stress. However, the search results do not contain specific information about checking a horse’s body temperature for cold stress. Therefore, I will provide a general overview of how body heat works in animals.
Body heat in animals is thermal energy produced by metabolism, especially in birds and mammals, which regulate their body temperature despite environmental changes. These animals conserve heat by fluffing feathers or erecting hairs, and by reducing blood flow to the surface and extremities. They can increase body heat by shivering and exercise. Excessive body heat is dispelled chiefly by increasing blood flow to the surface and extremities, by sweating or panting, and by maximizing exposure of the body surface to the surroundings.
