Dairy Cattle Behaviour and Welfare

有证据表明，奶牛的健康和牛奶的营养质量可能与奶牛的喂养行为直接相关。DeVries博士的研究项目将为影响奶牛喂养行为表达的因素及其对奶牛健康和牛奶营养质量的影响提供新的生物学见解。因此，这项研究不仅有助于为消费者生产健康的食品，而且还满足了消费者购买以人道方式饲养的动物产品的兴趣。

There is evidence that dairy cow health and the nutritional quality of milk may be directly linked to the feeding behaviour of dairy cows. Dr. DeVries' research program will provide novel biological insights into factors affecting the expression of feeding behaviour in dairy cattle and the implications this has on cow health and nutritional quality of milk. Thus, this research will not only contribute to production of a healthful food product for the consumer, but also satisfy the consumers interest in purchasing products obtained from animals that have been raised in a humane manner.
