Lameness results in a loss of at least 5 percent and as much as 36 percent milk annually, greater culling rate and reduced fertility.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/de\/economic-benefits-of-improved-cow-comfort\/","og_site_name":"Animat","article_published_time":"2025-07-18T14:47:45+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-07-18T14:49:24+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1920,"height":2560,"url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6560-scaled-1.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Sabrina","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Sabrina","Est. reading time":"2\u00a0Minuten"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/economic-benefits-of-improved-cow-comfort\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/economic-benefits-of-improved-cow-comfort\/"},"author":{"name":"Sabrina","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/b04d1463e68fa83679fbfea587470f37"},"headline":"Economic Benefits of Improved Cow Comfort","datePublished":"2025-07-18T14:47:45+00:00","dateModified":"2025-07-18T14:49:24+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/economic-benefits-of-improved-cow-comfort\/"},"wordCount":282,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/economic-benefits-of-improved-cow-comfort\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/IMG_6560-scaled-1.jpg","articleSection":["Uncategorized"],"inLanguage":"de"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/economic-benefits-of-improved-cow-comfort\/","url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/economic-benefits-of-improved-cow-comfort\/","name":"Economic Benefits of Improved Cow Comfort -
