Stray Voltage

Stray voltage is often a concern in the dairy industry, but it can affect other livestock as well. Stray voltage or neutral to earth voltage produces a tiny electrical shock that is felt by animals through the stanchions or watering cups. Even at voltages far below those a human can feel, animals may be receiving shocks that may affect their behavior, milk production, and overall health. Your Cooperative offers a free on-site test for stray voltage and literature is available upon request.
