In total, 200 cows of the first abdomen and 200 cows of the second abdomen and above<br \/>\nwere used. The cows of the first abdomen were divided into two groups of 100, the first group was<br \/>\nwithout brush and the second group was with brush. Also, the cows from the second abdomen up were<br \/>\ndivided into two groups of 100, the first group was without brush and the second group was with brush.<br \/>\nDaily milk production data were recorded and analyzed for three months before the date of starting to<br \/>\nwork with the brush and six months after using it. The results showed that cows in the second stomach<br \/>\nwere more affected by the cow brush and showed a higher daily milk production increase of 1 kg. Also,<br \/>\nclinical mastitis was investigated among the studied groups and the results showed that the clinical<br \/>\nmastitis rate decreased by 34% in cows with second and higher abdomens.<br \/>\n<strong>Introduction<\/strong><br \/>\nDairy cows need a lot of grooming. Cow grooming provides an opportunity to clean dairy cows. Research<br \/>\nin this field has shown that cows in a group with a mechanical brush increased their cleaning time<br \/>\nalmost 5 times compared to cows in a group without a brush. The authors concluded that a grooming<br \/>\ndevice helps satisfy the cow&#8217;s need for grooming while improving cow grooming. Both factors of better<br \/>\nwelfare and cleaner cows have an effect on disease incidence and milk production. Also, the cleanliness<br \/>\nof the cow is related to the incidence of mastitis, and increasing the activity of the cow may lead to the<br \/>\nreduction of metabolic diseases, better digestion and ultimately more milk production. Cows that are<br \/>\nmore active and walk more spend less time in the place and are therefore less exposed to bacteria on<br \/>\nthe place surface. Also, the grooming behavior of cows may result in cleaner skin in animals with access<br \/>\nto cow brush.<br \/>\n<strong>Total resulting<\/strong><br \/>\nIn short, the installation of a cow shed leads to an immediate increase in the cleaning behavior of cows,<br \/>\nan increase in daily milk production in cows from the second abdomen up, and also a decrease in the<br \/>\nincidence of mastitis.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A study conducted by Cornell University in the state of New York, USA, shows that second-time lactating cows had a significant increase in daily milk production and a reduction in mastitis when the cowhide was installed.
