New farmers "fashion". Why cows holes in the side?

in #animals8 years ago

The fact that the stomach of the cow is a complex multi-level mechanism to digest the huge amount of fiber. At its core, is a mini-factory, in which due to the special microflora in the nutrients processed even cellulose. Therefore, the cow can safely eat, for example, hay.However, the microflora of the digestive tract of a cow is happy sensitive, and can easily disrupt an unbalanced diet. For example, when the cow after a long period of feeding hay abruptly switches to the power of young clover, beets or silage, then her problems begin. Microorganisms do not have time to readjust to digesting a new food, and the cow is suffering from a surplus in the rumen (the stomach). If time does not help the animal, he or she may even die from suffocation. 

Sort:  

Usually the animal is sick and the cannula not only lets the gasses out but provides easy access in order to inspect the contents of the stomach. I have some experience working with cattle and they don't seem bothered by the cannula.

This is disgusting. And this is the reason I'm having my coffee with soy milk at the moment. I don't believe anybody can live normally with a large hole in their side.
