The team of scientists from FBN and FLI in Germany and the University of Auckland in New Zealand began to potty-train the calves6, in a process they called "MooLoo training."
来自德国农场动物生物学研究所、弗里茨-利普曼恩研究所和新西兰奥克兰大学的科学家团队开始对牲畜进行如厕训练,他们将这一过程称作MooLoo训练。
In the first phase of training, the cattle were put in a closed latrine. And whenever they urinated, they were given a reward of either electrolyte mixture or crushed barley7.
在训练的第一阶段,牲畜被关在茅厕里。无论何时尿尿,它们都会获得电解质溶液或碾碎的大麦作为奖励。
"Once they were allowed outside, the calves would go in the toilet to get their reward, but they soon learned that there's only a reward if they urinate." FBN's Neele Dirksen, first author of the study, told CNN.
研究报告的第一作者、农场动物生物学研究所的尼尔·德克森告诉美国有线电视新闻网称:“一旦牲畜们被放出来,它们就会进茅厕去找奖励,但是它们很快就明白,只有在茅厕里尿尿才有奖励。”
