Introduction
The United States dairy and meat industries claim over 41 million cow lives per year. Prior to slaughter, many cows succumb to diseases contracted because of unsanitary conditions, stress induced by confined quarters, malnourishment, and/or the harsh nature of constant milking, exposure to the elements, or other various unhealthy practices.
