Cow Comfort and Why it Matters

“Cow comfort is very important to milk production, milk quality, reproductive efficiency, and health of dairy cows.

There are economic consequences to poor cow comfort. “A comfortable cow is a cash cow”.

However, one reason that should make cow comfort a priority is that it is the right thing to do. We domesticated cows about 10,000 years ago so that we could harvest a wholesome food for humans. Cows should be treated with care and respect, be provided with adequate shelter, feed and water, and have an overall good and comfortable life.”
