How Human Contact Makes Dairy Cows Happier and Healthier
A new study has found that human contact can make dairy cows happier and healthier! Researchers at the University of British Columbia conducted an experiment in which they interacted with cows in a dairy barn and found that cows that received human interaction were calmer, more relaxed, and more productive than those that did not. They also showed improved health, with a lower incidence of disease and improved milk production. The findings suggest that dairy farmers should consider incorporating human contact into their management practices, which could lead to healthier and happier cows.
