Summary
"Mooving Cows" is a free educational game developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, aimed at teaching effective cow handling skills to dairy farm workers, veterinarians, researchers, and students. Players learn to move cows around a dairy farm, particularly during milking times, to ensure their safety and calmness. The game, available on Android and Apple devices, replaces live animal interaction with simulated scenarios, promoting animal welfare and reducing risks. It features tutorials, minimal text, and bilingual options (English/Spanish) for accessibility. By playing, users earn a certificate of completion for continuing education, aligning with programs like the Farmers Assuring Responsible Management (FARM) Animal Care.
