New Russian Experiment Aims to Revolutionize Dairy Farming With Neuro-Stimulation
Neuro Implant: Russian technology startup Neiry has, for the first time in the world, attempted to increase milk production by implanting neuro-implants in the brains of cows. The company claims that initial results have been very encouraging.
Scientists in Russia have performed a new experiment to boost milk production by implanting neuro-implant chips in cows' brains. This research was executed by the Russian technology company Neiry. This new method was adopted when every other method of boosting milk production ended in failure. Scientists believe that these implants will help boost milk production considerably by enhancing the appetite and fertility of cows.
Neiry began this experiment in April and performed surgery on five cows last month. A special stimulator was implanted in the back of the cows' heads, and electrodes were inserted into the brain. Using these devices, scientists stimulated the areas that control hunger, stress, and fertility with electrical impulses, resulting in increased milk production.
The first trial was conducted in the Sverdlovsk region of Russia. According to the Russian news agency RIA Novosti, NEERI experts successfully implanted neuro-implants in five cows. Surprisingly, the cows were fully conscious during the implantation. They experienced no major complications after the surgery and immediately returned to their milking duties. Although the company has not yet released official data on the impact on milk production, NEERI claims that the cows' milk production has improved.
Currently, Scientists are researching different stimulation programs. For example, if a cow's appetite decreases, the system immediately selects the appropriate neuro-modulation mode to restore appetite. The company says it needs to further refine the technology so it can be commercially available soon.

NEERI's investors believe that almost all traditional methods of increasing milk production in dairy farming have been exhausted. Therefore, a new approach like brain stimulation with electrical impulses could revolutionize the industry and provide a competitive edge. On the other hand, some agricultural activists believe that this technology could pose unnecessary risks to cows. Furthermore, its high cost makes it unprofitable.
