Cow comfort has become a key concern for the nation's farmers, who have known for generations that contented cows give more milk. The traditional techniques for keeping cows happy aren't complicated — feed them well, keep the temperature comfortable and give them room to move around. But some dairy farmers are turning to a new array of creative options intended to keep cows as mellow — and productive — as possible. Some farmers have installed waterbeds for their cows to rest on, while others play classical music. And some hire animal chiropractors to give older cows a tuneup and correct minor issues in calves, all part of the effort to ensure maximum milk output. Do the methods really work? There's no sound scientific data to back up the claims, but dairy farmers say they can see the difference with their own eyes — cows are giving more milk, the milk quality is improving and the herds seem to be enjoying the indulgences. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47600418/ns/business-us_business/ |

Well, I don't know about cows, but massages & waterbeds certainly keep dogs healthier & happier . . . and they live longer that way. Wonder how much it would cost to install waterbeds for cows? Those rubber mattresses would have to be made out of recycled tires or something to hold the weight. :lol |
