TIME-LAPSE VIDEO OPENS OUR EYES TO COW BEHAVIOUR AND COMFORT

摘要

For marketing milk, our images are pastoral and not confinement. Marketing images show cows in lush green pastures, blue water in streams, and clear blue skies - pastoral images that portray the wholesomeness of the environment where cows produce milk- healthy cows, healthy environment, and a healthy food.Although confinement housing may be the norm and the rural scene the exception, images inside dairy barns are not chosen to market milk. However, when looking for opportunities to enhance market access and international trade, human health and safety, animal health and dignity, residue avoidance, or to decrease the use of medicines or antimicrobial resistance, our attention turns to the barn and its husbandry systems.
