Recumbent Cows

Description

The recumbent dataset contains information on pregnant dairy cows that become recumbent, i.e., they lie down shortly before or after calving for unknown reasons. This condition can be severe and frequently leads to death of the cow. Clark, Henderson, Hoggard, Ellison and Young (1987) analyzed data collected at the Ruakura (N.Z.) Animal Health Laboratory on a sample of recumbent cows.
