Having a cow: Dairy farmers find new ways to relieve stress for their animals

Do you remember the old dairy advertisements that said “Great cheese comes from happy cows”? Well, as it turns out, there’s quite a bit of truth to that statement. Cows with significant amounts of stress produce poorer-quality milk, which leads to weaker cheese lacking in texture and flavor. Farmers are turning to technology to help. 

In Russia, a state agency has provided dairies with virtual reality headsets specially designed for bovine heads. These headsets not only show calming images of beautiful pastures and clear weather, but also pump in relaxing music and sounds that the cows love. How do we know they’re cool with it? Because the milk and cheese taste better, of course! Maybe Oculus Rift should get into the dairy business …

VR therapy isn’t only good for animals, either. Veterans are also using it for PTSD therapy.
