“Cows with portholes” To Look At Researchers Passing By


Here is a French innovation coming to us from INRA (the French institute of agricultural research): Cows equipped with portholes. That’s not a joke! Check this out!
When I first looked at the videos and pictures, I was shocked. I never heard of cows equipped with these sort of potholes. However nothing indicates that the animal suffers.
I am surprised that is the French that came up with this and not the Chineses. These portholes are giving access to the cow’s stomach to analyze the food they eat.
