Sweating in cattle. V. Sweat prints

Abstract

An American Brahman calf of about 7–8 months age was placed in a hot chamber with a temperature of 108° F. dry bulb and 92° F. wet bulb. Sweat droplets were detected by preparing sweat prints on tannic acid papers applied closely to shaved skin areas smeared with ferric chloride solutions. The distribution of sweat spots on the sweat prints is similar to that of sweat glands.
