title: [Devices for measuring the temperature of laboratory animals].
abstract: Three devices for measuring body temperature in small laboratory animals were designed: analogous thermometer, temperature-to-frequency converter for digital temperature assessment by means of a universal frequency meter and a portable digital thermometer providing temperature measurement accurate to 0.1 degree C. The devices were tested in experiments on laboratory rats and mice and proved to be highly reliable in long-term recording of parameters.
