In easily the most important agricultural news, if not world news, of the day, it has emerged that slow jams can stimulate milk production in cows.
A report in Modern Farmer links a study by the University of Leicester that found that slow music can mitigate stress in cows and increase the amount of milk they produce by 3% with anecdotal evidence from several dairy corporations.
"In terms of music, in my 30 years working with dairy cows, I have found that music can be beneficial to the well-being of the cows, but it must be consistent and calming," said Juan Velez, executive vice president of Aurora Organic Farms.
