Everything I hear how cow farmers need to take care of their stock baffles me more and more how these were able to survive for so long
A cow needs to be milked every certain period to avoid infections, bruising, death
A cow needs help with the birth of a calf, as its sometimes a process which cant be done by a cow itself
A cow builds up gasses in their stomachs, requiring punctures to avoid sickness, death
And not to mention the parasites, specific diets, and maybe some other things I wouldn’t know about
In: Biology
dairy cows that you see and know today are not the same as they existed a hundred years ago. through selective breeding we have changed them from their “ancestors” (much like we have done with wolves to dogs)
enhacing some traits can cause pitfalls elsewhere as we mess with genetics through this selective breeding process
