Article Synopsis
- Magnetic alignment (MA) is when animals, like cows, instinctively orient their bodies in a north-south direction, which has been linked to their well-being and behavior.
- Researchers hypothesized that misalignment of dairy cow resting areas could lead to an increase in technopathies, which are injuries or disorders caused by the environment.
- Findings showed that cows in north-south oriented cubicles had 30% fewer instances of technopathies and a 40% decrease in the number of conditions per cow compared to those in non-north-south aligned cubicles.
