The popularity of deer farming has increased in recent years. However, research into dedicated methods for diagnosing deer in view of their specific behavior, including low levels of domestication and high susceptibility to stress, is still scant. Infrared thermography could be a useful tool for assessing the behavior of farmed animals, including deer. This non-invasive diagnostic method has numerous applications, and it could facilitate farming operations without compromising the animals' welfare. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the applicability of infrared thermography in deer farming and to identify breeding practices where thermal imaging can be effectively applied.
