Abstract in brief

  • The study investigated how body surface temperature and sweating rates vary across different regions and times of day in dromedary camels, revealing significant circadian and environmental influences.
  • Findings showed that the hump's body surface temperature fluctuated more than other regions, likely due to fur providing protection against temperature changes, while infrared thermography identified flank and axillary areas as key thermal windows for heat dissipation.
  • SWEATING rate was moderately related to skin and body surface temperatures, suggesting these factors may help drive the camel's cooling processes, especially during nighttime when heat dissipation is more active.
