72. Ruminating by ruminants: Factors that influence cud chewing and why we might be interested!

Om avsnittet

Ruminants have been ruminating (cud chewing) for millions of years, so why the recent increased interest in ruminating? Wearable technologies (cattle collars, ear tags, rumen boluses) have changed our world, providing real time data around all sorts of things that our cattle are up to - including but not limited to rumination.

Our latest podcast takes a deep dive into the topic of rumination, exploring why ruminants chew cud, and factors that change rumination activity. Join us on a journey of exploration around animal, feed and farm-level factors that influence rumination activity.
