Five ewes from a semi\u2010extensive farming system were included in two sub\u2010trials: animals were first assessed in the prepubertal stage and, subsequently, an oestrous cycle was induced by intravaginal progesterone sponges followed by eCG and prostaglandin; oestrous was confirmed by serum progesterone. Temperatures were recorded in five stages (prepubertal, pubertal, sponge, post\u2010sponge, oestrous) based on eight measurements: rectal (RT), subcutaneous biologger (SCT) and infrared thermography (IRT) of vulva\/axilla that were obtained either as unprocessed maximum pixel or as FLIR\u2010processed maximum\/mean. A linear mixed\u2010effects model that included Method, Stage and their interaction indicated strong global effects (all\n                    <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Estimated marginal means revealed a clear physiological trajectory: temperatures were highest in the prepubertal stage, generally decreased from the prepubertal stage towards the treatment\u2010related stages, although the timing of the minimum value depended on the measurement method. Among the methods, RT yielded the highest estimated mean temperatures and the most stable measurements, SCT recorded slightly lower temperatures, vulvar FLIR\u2010processed metrics were able to detect stage\u2010related thermal changes, and axillary measures, especially unprocessed maxima, were more variable and environmentally sensitive. In general, thermal monitoring identified the expected reproductive\u2010stage patterns. RT and SCT provided the most stable detection of reproductive\u2010stage temperature changes, whereas vulvar FLIR\u2010processed thermography represented the most promising non\u2010invasive alternative. Axillary thermography was more variable and appeared to be more susceptible to environmental influences.\n
