Abstract

Interacting directly with cows is a necessary part of dairy farming but leads to the risk of human injuries, which can be severe or even fatal. When cows are handled inappropriately, this decreases both their welfare and milk production and can also hurt public perception of dairy farming. We developed a serious video game, Mooving Cows™, which is like a flight simulator to practice moving cows humanely. Players of Mooving Cows take on the role of a dairy farm worker. They are expected to move cows through routine barn environments such as a freestall pen or the milking parlor.
