Example Sentences

Most cattle roam their pastures peeing with abandon, but scientists have now trained calves to use a special latrine called MooLoo.

From Scientific American

After just 10 days of lessons, many of the calves used MooLoo 77 percent of the time.

From Scientific American

As the experiment continued, the animals continued to enter the “MooLoo,” building a habit, the researchers said, a sight they celebrated given that past efforts to toilet-train cattle had not been entirely successful.

From Washington Post

Knight, who was not involved with the MooLoo experiment, added that “nitrous oxide is a very potent greenhouse gas, with 296 times as much global warming potential as CO2,” and livestock produces “more greenhouse gases, than all the cars, trucks, planes in the world, combined.”

From Washington Post

According to researchers, 11 out of 16 calves were taught to use the MooLoo in just 15 training sessions — a result they said compares favorably to the amount of time it takes to toilet-train children ages 3 to 4.
