THERMAL IMAGING CANADA

Thermal Imaging Canada uses a FLIR E8 thermal imaging camera with resolution of 320 x 240 pixels and can detect temperature differences of 0.05 degrees Celsius. Images are presented in a Rainbow High Contrast Palette. These are medically acceptable specifications to produce a thermography report. This camera is fully calibrated yearly and certifications are up to date... For imaging a lot of animals, quickly, thermal imaging is excellent, due to the efficient scanning method and transportability. Technically, most livestock are candidates for evaluation with thermal imaging... Research has been conducted with foot and mouth disease and other animal conditions using thermal imaging. Chicken evaluations involve looking at the thermal condition of not only the hen, but also the eggs. Problems can be evaluated quickly, and a decisive course of action can be taken and then monitored to evaluate effectiveness. This is not always available as efficiently with other diagnostic tests.
