The Use of Percutaneous Thermal Sensing Microchips to Measure Body Temperature in Horses during and after Exercise Using Three Different Cool-Down Methods.

The frequent monitoring of a horse’s body temperature post strenuous exercise is critical to prevent or alleviate exertional heat illness (EHI) from occurring. Percutaneous thermal sensing microchip (PTSM) technology has the potential to be used as a means of monitoring a horse’s body temperature during and post-exercise. However, the accuracy of the temperature readings obtained, and their relationship to core body temperature are dependent on where they are implanted.

Controlling Woody Weed Chinese Elm ( Pers.) with Stem-Implanted Herbicide Capsules.

Chinese elm [ Pers.] is an emerging environmental weed naturalised throughout the coastal and riparian (creek-banks, river margins, and streams) regions of eastern Australia. Throughout this introduced range, its management is limited to the application of synthetic herbicides and mechanical clearing operations (terrain and soil type permitting).

Herbicide Options to Control Naturalised Infestations of in Rangeland Environments of Australia.

While there are many high profile Opuntioid cactus species invading rangeland environments in Australia, Ritt. ex Kiesl. has also naturalised and formed large and dense infestations at several locations.
