Spotted on Discovery News ...

"... new research suggests a gentle way to get more milk out of anxious mama-cow: Stroke her, ask about her day, and call her Elsa, Rose, or Lady Moo. Cows with names produce up to five percent more milk, according to a study published in January in the journal Anthrozoos ...

... Rather, a cow with a name is likely to be more relaxed than if she were treated as just another number ...
"
Just wondering if chicken (or may be it's egg) would taste better if we call it by a name?
