‘The Mootrix’? Cows wear virtual reality goggles in winter to simulate sunny pastures

By Around the Web

(THE BLAZE) – Virtual reality technology apparently isn’t solely for humans. Turns out some folks got the nifty idea to outfit cows with virtual reality goggles in the winter in the hopes of boosting their milk production, the Sun reported.

The goggles were developed with veterinarians and first tested on a farm in Moscow, the paper said, adding that cattle breeder Izzet Kocak put them on two cows in Aksaray, Turkey, and results have been favorable.

Believe it or not, the cows’ milk output has increased from 5.8 gallons to 7 gallons a day, the Sun said.
