Dairy Cattle Behaviour and Welfare

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
