Abstract: To find a simple and quick detection method for ante-mortem temperature, the warning temperature was set, the rectal temperature and temperature of the ear surface of 1000 heads ante-mortem pig were measured by mercury thermometers, infrared thermometers and electronic thermometers respectively.Compared with mercury thermometer, the coincidence rate of temperatures using infrared thermometer was 93.11%. The results showed that infrared thermometer was more suitable for ante-mortem body temperature screening and quarantine of large scale slaughterhouses.
