Still Waters Posted November 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Russian cows have been given virtual reality headsets in a bid to boost milk yields by making the animals think they live in a permanently sunny pasture. The Moscow agriculture ministry, which announced the pilot project at a large dairy farm outside the capital, cited research that happy cows produce more milk, saying “the quantity, and sometimes the quality of milk increases markedly in a calm atmosphere.” In what is believed to be a world first, the RusMoloko farm has partnered with researchers and veterinarians to implement a special VR programme developed specifically for cows. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/11/26/russian-cows-fitted-vr-headsets-show-reduced-anxiety-improved/ 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted November 26, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 26, 2019 "....making the animals think they live in a permanently sunny pasture " The quicker they make them for us in Scotland, the better for everybody (the bigger the whisky and shortbread yield). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Grey Posted November 28, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Too many parallels to choose from. Just keep your Disney+ distraction devices on your face while you are milked.

+DanL Posted November 28, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 28, 2019 I would think that looking at all of that beautiful tall grass and not being able to get to it and eat some of it would be frustrating. It would be like putting the cow in a cage in the middle of the field where she couldn't reach to the good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
