Methodological Information

- Description of methods use for collection/generation of data
The document published herein contains 5 supplemental figures.
Supplemental Figure S1: air speeds were collected in the stalls using propellor anemometers on tripods at 0.75 m high, recording at 2-sec intervals.
Supplemental Figure S2: ambient air temperature and relative humidity were collected using a portable weather station recording at 5-min intervals.
Supplemental Figures S3 and S4: air temperature and relatively humidity (used to calculate Temperature Humidity Index, THI) were recorded in the experimental pens at 2 m above the stalls with data loggers at 5-min intervals.
Supplemental Figure S5: intravaginal temperature was recorded using data loggers at 1-min intervals.
