Control of respiratory evaporative heat loss in exercising goats

J. B. Mercer and C. Jessen

Investigations were carried out to determine whether a nonthermal input is involved in the control of respiratory evaporative heat loss (REHL) in exercising goats. Two goats were implanted with hypothalamic perfusion thermodes and three goats were implanted with intravascular heat exchangers to clamp hypothalamic temperature and total body core temperature, respectively. At 30 degrees C air temperature REHL was measured while the animals were resting or walking on a treadmill (3 km.h-1, 5 degrees gradient). When the hypothalamic temperature was clamped between 33.0 and 43.0 degrees C the slopes of the responses relating increased REHL to hypothalamic temperature were similar during rest and exercise. However, the threshold hypothalamic temperatures for the increased REHL responses were lower during exercise than at rest, presumably due to higher extrahypothalamic temperatures. When the body core temperature was clamped between 37.0 and 40.4 degrees C the slopes of the responses relating increased REHL to total body core temperature during exercise showed only minor differences compared to those at rest, none of them conclusively indicating nonthermal influences.
