Effects of reproductive stage (late-gestation, mid-gestation, and non-pregnant) on body temperature (TB) in multiparous (3.28 ± 0.81) sows exposed to incrementally increasing dry bulb temperature (TDB). Dashed lines indicate the point at which TB increased abruptly (+ 0.20 °C) above baseline TB and the TDB associated with this point is indicated in the legend. This TDB was considered the point at which severe HS occurred
