Lorna the Plastic Chamber Cow Impresses Researchers
UPI reports at Beltsville Maryland scientists study a Holstein named Lorna in a sealed plastic chamber. She reportedly produces more calories in milk than she consumes in feed, a temporary result from stored body fat and water replacement. Scientists warn she cannot sustain this pace long. The piece also notes advances in amplified sound as an insect deterrent and related experiments affecting moth development.
