Fig. 3. Metabolic rate of 2–3-day-old ducklings vs water
temperature, adjusted to the average mass of 48 g. The slope of the lines
indicates the effect of water temperature on metabolic rate. The spacing of
the lines indicates the additional effect of air temperatures. The lines are
drawn using the heat transfer model in
Equation 3. Even with 30°C
water temperature and 45°C air temperature, there is no indication that
the thermal neutral zone has been reached.
