Cow urine produces ammonia, which in turn is converted into nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas

Cow urine contains urea, a nitrogen-rich compound that, when broken down by enzymes in cow faeces, is converted into ammonia. Bacteria in the soil, in turn, convert that ammonia into nitrous oxide. Best known as a dental anaesthetic, the stuff is also a potent greenhouse gas. And agriculture is a big source of it. In the European Union, livestock farming accounts for around 70% of ammonia emissions.

But going to the loo is a tricky business, says Dr Langbein. It requires awareness of bladder fullness, self-control to override excretory reflexes, selection of a latrine, and intentional relaxation of the muscles which control the flow of urine. Nevertheless, he has developed a three-stage process to help cows master toilet training.

Cows are fairly intelligent animals, and the lessons proved quite effective. Of the 16 calves enrolled in the training process, 11 were considered successfully toilet-trained by the end of it. Their overall performance, say the researchers, was roughly comparable to that of human children. The animals managed to pee in the latrine around 77% of the time.

Let the cows be as nature intended it. Don't interfere in their natural habits. Encourage people to eat less meat that's bad for cardiovascular health and the environment due to CH4 emissions and dung runoff to water bodies aside from cows using up colossal amounts of water/grain

RIP journalism

Damn it, not Pink Floyd. Thought you finally talking about something interesting.

The idea that cows are big, dumb slabs of walking meat has been perpetuated by the beef industry who do not want the public to see that they are harvesting intelligent and emotional beings for profit. Emotional beings can feel happiness, sadness and fear....
