This study was designed to explore the potential of infrared thermography (IRT) as an alternate approach for early pregnancy diagnosis in buffaloes. The surface temperature (ST) of different regions (eyes, muzzle, flanks, and vulva) was determined in 27 buffaloes using IRT from the day of artificial insemination (AI; Day 0), and measurement was repeated every fourth day until Day 24 post-AI. From all regions, the ST in each thermograph was recorded at three temperature values (maximum, average, minimum). Pregnancy status was confirmed through ultrasonography on Day 30, and animals were retrospectively grouped as pregnant or non-pregnant for analysis of thermographic data. In pregnant buffaloes, all three values of ST were significantly greater (p ≤ 0.05) for the left flank, while, in the left eye and vulva, only the maximum and average values were significantly greater. By contrast, the maximum ST of the muzzle was significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) in pregnant buffaloes compared to non-pregnant buffaloes. However, the ST of the right eye and right flank did not show significant temperature variation at any value. These findings suggest that IRT has the potential to identify thermal changes associated with pregnancy in buffaloes at an early stage.

Infrared thermography is a non-invasive imaging diagnostic modality used in veterinary medicine as a screening tool, especially in cases of musculoskeletal and neurological diseases. The infrared camera is able to measure the body's surface heat and produce a map with different shades of colors that represent the distribution of heat in the body. During the acquisition of images, it is important to consider several factors in the examination, such as the model of the equipment, pixel capacity, environmental and biological factors for each species to be analyzed. It is a complementary diagnostic tool of wide use in the most diverse specialties and conditions in veterinary medicine, such as oncological, dermatological, reproductive, ophthalmological, neurological, musculoskeletal, metabolic patterns, pre, trans and postoperative, in addition to being an important non-invasive complementary test for the evaluation of animal welfare. This review discusses the fundamentals of the technique, its main uses and applications, and the role of thermography as a complementary tool for diagnosis and follow-up of therapeutic evolution in veterinary medicine.
