Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Russian dairy farmers gave cows VR goggles with hopes they would be happier and make better milk
Cows understand what threatening and pleasing. The growl of a wolf or a bear certainly make them scared and become uneasy. In contrast, calm, pleasing music seems to make them feel easy and relaxed and make them become more productive. Indeed, some premium beef producers play music in the cow house to make the meat tenderer. Also, some dairy farmers play easy music in an attempt to make their cows produce more and better milk. Audio seems to be an effective tool to improve cows’ productivity.
What about visual effects? Now, a cow farm in a suburb of Moscow (the capital of Russia, not a kind of cow), is putting virtual reality goggles on its cows trying to produce more and better milk. The VR goggles are customized to fit the head shapes and eyesight of the cow. Through the customized VR goggles, the cow can feel like being in a wild, expansive field beneath the summer sun wherever it is and whenever. It might be helpful in a cold place like Russia where cows have to endure a long winter in a crowded and stressful barn.
Will Muscovites be able to enjoy richer milk in winter because of these cow VR goggles?
Enjoy reading the article and think if VR goggles help produce better beef, pork or chicken.
