Jorvet Big Fella Large Animal Thermometer is constructed and designed to easily temp large animals. Measuring body temperature is still very much a component of any physical exam of a sick or ill animal patient. The challenge is human digital thermometers are undersized for adult large animals such as a 1200 lbs. (500kg) cow or horse. • No dropping into manure pile or onto ground to be stepped on • Larger LCD screen is easy to read • Round shaped protective plastic cover case for probe • Clear plastic shock resistant case stores entire thermometer • Lithium “watch” style battery • Temperature range ≤ 89.6°F (32°C) and > 107.6°F (42°C) .
The use of glass mercury thermometers are quickly being phased out as hazardous materials · So replacing them has gone to digital thermometers designed and sized for human use · Reads in Fahrenheit only
