July 23, 2010: Cow Wash

[xoxoxoBruce]

DeLaval, the manufacturer, calls this a Cow Wash, but there's no water or other fluids involved.
So it's not really washing the cows, it's brushing them clean, and a massage to boot.

Anyway, she must like it because she looks orgasmic.

'The bristles have the right length and hardness to stimulate the blood circulation whilst helping the cow to keep clean and calm.
'It is very popular among dairy farmers. Cows using the swinging cow brush are cleaner, calmer and therefore more balanced.'
A study conducted by scientists in the USA found the brush resulted in better animal health due to an increase in blood circulation.
It also concluded that cows using the machine were 34 per cent less likely to suffer from clinical mastitis - a condition which results in milk abnormalities.
The research team also reported increased milk production of up 3.5 per cent for cows in a pen using the swinging cow brush.

And it feels goooood. Speaking of feeling good, DeLaval also makes milking machines.
