Enhancing Animal Welfare and Research with Non-Invasive Temperature Monitoring
Body temperature is a critical biomarker for detecting stress, disease, and adverse physiological responses, often before visible symptoms appear. In animal husbandry, it plays a key role in evaluating overall health and identifying humane endpoints. In research, it is particularly valuable in studies on infectious diseases, vaccine development, thermoregulation, and metabolism.
However, traditional temperature monitoring methods, such as rectal probes and surgical telemetry, are invasive, stressful, and labor-intensive. These limitations can compromise animal welfare, reduce data quality, and hinder scalability.
This webinar introduces UID Temperature Monitoring Technology, a minimally invasive, surgery-free solution that allows accurate, continuous temperature monitoring across an animal’s entire lifetime. Cost-effective and easy to implement, it improves both data integrity and animal well-being.
We’ll present real-world case studies highlighting applications in:
- Objective monitoring of humane endpoints
- Thermoregulation under environmental or pharmacological stress
- High-containment environments for pathogen research
- Brown adipose tissue metabolism
- Infectious diseases and vaccine development
- Long-term health and wellness tracking
Join us to discover how UID’s temperature monitoring system is transforming animal research, offering better data, reduced stress, and greater operational efficiency.
