Tri-axial accelerometer attachment and thermogenic curve of sheep. A Subject wearing harness equipped with tri-axial accelerometer illustrating orthogonal (X, Y, Z or ‘sway’, ‘surge’ and ‘heave’) axes aligned to the body and body pitch (\(\theta\), °); B Thermogenic curves of rate of oxygen consumption (V̇O2, mL kg−1 min−1) against chamber temperature (°C). Closed and open circles represent data from non-sheared sheep A and sheep B, respectively; open and closed triangles are sheared sheep A and sheep B, respectively. The dashed segmented regression line represents the change in V̇O2 in response to increasing temperature of sheep A, whereas the solid regression line represents that of sheep B, respectively
