abstract :
In the natural environment, cows use trees and other surfaces for cleaning.
The new system of dairy cows does not have a suitable place for cleaning animals. We evaluated dairy cows for mechanical cow brushes as cleaning.
With this evaluation, the cow was trained to press a weight for food and to access a cow brushes mechanical. Gradually the weight became heavier so that all the cows could not open it. According to this result was similar. The cow tried for the cow brushes, but it resisted for the empty space, so I understood that .the cow brushes is important for the cow
Introduction:
Cleaning separates the animal from parasites and dirt and has a positive effect on it. The cow licks itself and uses tree bark in the open environment. Cows in the field may not be able to clean some of their body, so cow brushes a mechanical is effective for cows
Some countries, like Denmark, require a cow brushes for cows. A cow with a cow brushes is cleaner, and when there is no cow brushes, five times more time is wasted on cleaning, so we understand that a cow brushes is important.
The experiment provides a special incentive for the animal. The more the animal tries for something, the more important it is.
The desire of the animal to do something can be investigated and its importance can be understood.
The aim is to test the level of the cow’s motivation for cow brushes with its motivation for feed, which is important for feed cows and after cow brushes and access to a space without cow brushes
The dairy cow had a high motivation for cow brushes and feed. Therefore, the data between cow brushes and feed is valuable for cattle. Using a cow brushes improves the behavior of the cow
Grooming reduces animal stress and increases oxytocin. With the mechanical cow brush, cows get positive effects.
Cows are more motivated to mechanically cow brushes than to achieve empty space
cow Brushes is very important for cows, but some cows go to open space to explore.
The results may also be affected by the ability of the cows, the cow may not be able to press the weight.
At least some of the cows’ inability to push weights may be due to their physical incapacity. Some cows could not open the gate and the weight pushes from the side. Like pregnant cows. The test should be done later on non-pregnant cows.
General result: cows have a higher motivation for cow brush mechanical and feed than empty space, and for this reason, mechanical cow brush is more important for cows.
