متن کاملAn Investigation of Automatic Milking Systems and their Impact on Dairy Cow Welfare
Farmers and researchers are interested in improving cow welfare in the dairy industry. One area of research involves use of automatic milking systems (AMS) on farms. These robotic systems have been shown to be effective in decreasing the prevalence of lameness in the herd (Leach et al., 2012) and decreasing cow stress (Dijkstra et al., 2012). According to Jacobs & Siegford (2012), cow wellbeing...
