Which housing feature most directly reduces competition at the feed bunk in a group of dairy cows?
Correct answer: B. Adequate feeding space per cow
- A. Higher wall temperature
- B. Adequate feeding space per cow
- C. Darker interior lighting
- D. Reduced water access
Explanation
Providing adequate feeding space allows more cows to eat at the same time and reduces displacement of subordinate animals. Restricted water access or poor lighting does not solve competition at the feed bunk.
