Stress levels may be decreased by using the brush.  Researchers at the University of Kentucky are trying to determine whether this is true by measuring stress hormones in the blood of cows using the brush.  One study conducted in New York found that second lactation cows with access to rotating cow brushes resulted in 2 pound milk production increase and fewer incidences of clinical mastitis compared to cows without access to the brushes.  Another study conducted in Vancouver, Canada concluded that cows increased time grooming by 226% (1.22 minutes per day to 7.42 minutes per day) and scratching bouts, or events of scratching, by 508% (2.96 visits per day to 9.66 visits per day).  So, these brushes may help fulfill the cow’s need to groom and may even give them something fun to do
