Is it true that cows get electricuted for milk to be produced quicker?

Question

i read that on a stop animal cruelety fan group on bebo, but is it true?

Answer 1

Electrocuted to produce milk faster? No.

They are probably referring to "stray voltage" which has caused problems for dairy farmers in some areas.  Stray voltage is not something created on purpose, nor does it benefit milk production... it's actually detrimental to production.

Answer 2

not that i have ever seen...

Answer 3

Of course not.

Answer 4

Not on any farm I ever worked on. Perhaps it should be tried on the people who circulate stories like that to credulous people. You were wise to ask for confirmation.
