ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a novel method for remotely detecting and monitoring on a long term basis the deep body temperature of a mammalian female which comprises the steps of attaching a temperature-sensing probe capable of remote interrogation to an expandable anchor, implanting the probe with the anchor attached thereto in collapsed condition within the vaginal canal, expanding the anchor to maintain the probe in place despite the animal's muscular efforts to expel same, interrogating the probe from a remote location on a daily basis at approximately the same time each day for a period not less than one complete estrous cycle, and noting any abrupt change in temperature within each cycle as an indication of physiological stress.
