Answer: No
Explanation:
Try instructing a cow on when and where to relieve itself. According to a Canadian study published this week in Applied Animal Behaviour Science, bovines can urinate seven to nine times per day and defecate nine to sixteen times, which poses serious hygienic issues for dairy and beef farms. In order to manage manure, cueing the animals to go in the proper spot would be quite helpful. However, previous methods, such as teaching cows to react to small electric shocks, have shown to be unsuccessful or unworkable for widespread application. The researchers experimented with a variety of cues on 12 Holstein cows to see if they could develop a more effective potty prompt.
