Infrared thermography and Doppler ultrasonography reveal divergent scrotal thermoregulation strategies in Nelore and composite (5/8 Charolais × 3/8 Bos indicus) beef bulls
). Our study used a combination of infrared thermography and color Doppler ultrasonography to assess scrotal temperature and hemodynamics. This approach could contribute to the development of initial reference parameters, which are an important tool for understanding adaptability issues.
