Thus the MooLoo, which helps train Elsie and friends to make their deposits in discrete ways. Those who get the hang of it are rewarded with sugar water, the bovine version of Pepsi. Those who don’t will get “sprayed with water” (a negative reinforcer unless the barn’s on fire).
Turns out that calves are about on par with toddlers when it comes to potty training. Some even caught on quicker than their two-legged companions. Altogether, about three-quarters of the sample herd earned their Pepsi. That could translate to “reducing ammonia emissions” by more than 50 percent.
