N-1432 ÅsAt Ås Farm at NMBU, we have some cows that are a little different from most cows. These are the fistula cows, 12-14 of the kind. These cows have a hole in their rumen that is big enough to stick your hand into. The hole gives researchers and students a unique opportunity to study what goes on inside the cow.
