[QUOTE="Son of Butch, post: 1469711, member: 14585"] Cattle are more sensitive to small voltages than people. Neutral to ground voltage leak of less than 1/2 volt is considered normal. Because of complex electrical system distribution on dairy farms, dairy cows are the animal most often effected by stray voltage causing decreased nutrient or water intake. The stress on dairy cows continually experiencing small voltage of 1-9 volts combined with decrease in nutrient intake can lead to disease. Most commonly mastitis. I've never heard of it causing anything severe as what must be happening on this local dairy that 2 cows were weakened by something that must be occurring for 2 animals to develop such an odd outcome. Could it be some sort of poisoning rather than the butcher's idea that stray voltage can cause a cow's bones to rot from the inside out? p.s. Stray Voltage is defined as 10 volts or less measured between 2 points that can be simultaneously contacted. i.e. wet concrete floor and metal wall. Humans experience tingle sensations from voltage 10 times less than cows, in addition people wear shoes which increase resistance. Therefore people may be totally unaware cows might be experiencing tingle sensation all the while people touching the same two contact points feel nothing. [/QUOTE]
