I'm trying to wrap my head around this cow. What are the benefits of installing this device on one? Surely a cow will happily eat enough that you'll never need to suplement it extras through a fancy hole in its stomach.
Could it be that this cow in particular has some kind of eating issues, and putting a hole in their side to allow for manual insertion of food was the best method?
But what's even more curious is that it's such a clean modification, whoever did it was obviously proud of their work.
The surgery would absolutely be expensive, and it might just be easier to slaughter the cow for food.
So I'm thinking that this cow is... loved? Or is it the first of its kind - a testament that if we wanted to, we can definitely do this.
