respiration.

The Horse 8 to 10
Cattle 12 to 15
Sheep and Goats 12 to 20
The Dog 15 to 20
Swine 10 to 15

The rate of breathing is increased from the processes of digestion
immediately after eating, or may increase from exercise.

NORMAL TEMPERATURE OF THE HORSE

From 2 to 5 years old the temperature is 100.6 degrees Fahr.
From 5 to 10 years old the temperature is 100.4 degrees Fahr.
From 10 to 15 years old the temperature is 100 degrees Fahr.
From 15 to 20 years old the temperature is 98.4 to 100.2 degrees Fahr.

Stallion 100 degrees Fahr.
Mare 100.8 degrees Fahr.
Gelding 100.4 degrees Fahr.
