===Nutrition===
 +
When slaughtered, a cow yields {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.2*40}}}} leather as a calf; {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*0.5*40}}}} as a juvenile; or {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*140}}}} meat and {{Meat Leather Curve|{{#expr:{{P|Body Size}}*40}}}} leather as an adult.

 +
*'''Milking'''
 +
Female cows produce {{icon small|milk}} {{P|Daily Milk Average}} per day, or {{#vardefineecho:milk_nutr_per_day|{{#expr:{{P|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05}}}} [[nutrition]] in milk per day. A cow consumes {{P|Real Hunger Rate}} nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of {{%|{{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 3}} from milk alone ({{icon small|milk}} {{#expr: {{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}} per day per 1 nutrition consumed).
 +
 
 +
Cows produce {{#expr: (({{P|Daily Milk Average}}/{{Q|Yak|Daily Milk Average}})-1)*100 round 0}}% more milk than the next best producer, the [[yak]]. However, yaks are also pack animals.
 +
 
 +
*'''Slaughtering + Milking'''
 +
Slaughtered as calves, and including the production of milk, the nutrition efficiency of a population of cows varies from {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} round 3}} to {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|0}} round 3}} depending on how many more female cows there are than bulls.
 +
 
 +
If the calves are allows to grow to adulthood before they are slaughtered, this changes to {{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|baby|1|1}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|1}} round 3}}-{{%|({{Meat Production|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} + {{#var:milk_nutr_per_day}})/{{Nutrition Consumption|{{PAGENAME}}|adult|1|0}} round 3}}.
 +
 
 +
Cows are reasonably nutritionally efficient, but they are slightly less so than [[Horse]]s and [[Ibex]]s. The increased work required to milk the cows every day further places them behind such competition. As a result, the cow shines best in colonies with the Animal Personhood [[meme]], that want to create fine or lavish meals without slaughtering animals. Even in this regard, cows are inferior to [[chicken]]s in every respect other than lag-friendliness.
 +
 
 +
=== Nutrition in a closed system ===
 +
Cows can eat [[simple meal]]s and [[nutrient paste meal]]s, even out of their own milk. By converting milk into simple meals, cows create {{#expr:{{P|Daily Milk Average}}*0.05*1.8}} nutrition per day, assuming you have a sufficiently skilled Animals handler. This results in a nutrition efficiency of {{%| ({{P|Daily Milk Average}} *0.05 * 1.8) /{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}}; a female cow can sustain itself on its own milk so long as cook can constantly produce it meals.
 +
 
 +
Using nutrient paste, an efficiency of {{%|({{P|Daily Milk Average}} *0.05 * 3) /{{P|Real Hunger Rate}} round 2}} is reached, enough to feed a cow and bull. However, nutrient paste must be [[Nutrient paste dispenser#Manually producing meals|dispensed manually]].

==Feeding and Nutrition Efficiency==
 
−
A cow requires 1.36 nutrition per day to survive, while producing 0.90 nutrition of milk per day (depending on your pawn's animals skill) which can be cooked into 1.62 nutrition worth of simple or fine meals. So not only can cows efficiently convert vegetable nutrition into animal product nutrition when fed vegetarian Simple Meals, they can actually break the second law of thermodynamics by providing more calories than is required to feed them. Nutrition efficiency is lost by raising calves and keeping a bull for breeding, and gained by slaughtering dead cows and unnecessary calves.
 
−
 
−
Note that [[kibble]] requires meat or animal products to make and is significantly less nutritionally efficient than simple meals (125% v 180% of ingredients), though it requires less than half the work per nutrition to cook. Nutrition can be traded in for labour further by feeding your cows raw haygrass (115% nutrition/tile of corn) or corn (122% nutrition/work of haygrass).

Cow

Cow

A large domesticated ungulate, cows have been bred for millennia to produce huge amounts of milk, meat, and leather. They are exceptionally gentle creatures and will never seek revenge, no matter how many times they are harmed. Most of them are so adapted to farm life that they cannot survive in the wild.

The cow is a large herbivore best known for its milk and tasty meat. Males of the species are referred to as Bulls and can be distinguished by their horns and lack of udders, while females are referred to as Cows and have the opposite features. Babies of either gender are referred to as Calves and have the features of adults of their gender.

Obtaining

Cows don't spawn in the wild and thus cannot be tamed. They can only be obtained via trading or received through the animal self-taming event.

Summary

Cows are pen animals. Once tamed, pen animals cannot and do not need to be trained any further. But if left outside of a pen or caravan hitching spot, pen animals will eventually roam outside your colony. Making a caravan is not required to tie animals to a caravan hitching spot.

A female cow can be milked for up to 14 units of milk per day (depending on your pawn's Animal Gather Yield).

Analysis

Cows are reasonably efficient animals that produce milk, which can be used as a meat substitute for fine meals and lavish meals.

While they are worse for vegetarian food than chickens, cows can be friendlier to your computer (lots of chickens can create lag).

Nutrition

When slaughtered, a cow yields 67 meat and 25 leather as a calf; 168 meat and 48 as a juvenile; or 336 meat and 96 leather as an adult.

  • Milking

Female cows produce Milk 14 per day, or 0.7 nutrition in milk per day. A cow consumes 0.86 nutrition per day. This results in a nutrition efficiency of 81.4% from milk alone (Milk 16.28 per day per 1 nutrition consumed).

Cows produce 27% more milk than the next best producer, the yak. However, yaks are also pack animals.

  • Slaughtering + Milking

Slaughtered as calves, and including the production of milk, the nutrition efficiency of a population of cows varies from 70.3% to 140.5% depending on how many more female cows there are than bulls.

If the calves are allows to grow to adulthood before they are slaughtered, this changes to 38.8%-143.6%.

Cows are reasonably nutritionally efficient, but they are slightly less so than Horses and Ibexs. The increased work required to milk the cows every day further places them behind such competition. As a result, the cow shines best in colonies with the Animal Personhood meme, that want to create fine or lavish meals without slaughtering animals. Even in this regard, cows are inferior to chickens in every respect other than lag-friendliness.

Nutrition in a closed system

Cows can eat simple meals and nutrient paste meals, even out of their own milk. By converting milk into simple meals, cows create 1.26 nutrition per day, assuming you have a sufficiently skilled Animals handler. This results in a nutrition efficiency of 147%; a female cow can sustain itself on its own milk so long as cook can constantly produce it meals.

Using nutrient paste, an efficiency of 244% is reached, enough to feed a cow and bull. However, nutrient paste must be dispensed manually.

Training

This animal can be trained as follows:

Attack:  Ex.png
Rescue:  Ex.png
Haul:  Ex.png

*As of version 1.1.2610, all animals can be tamed. The percentage of likelihood of success depends on factors such as the Animals Wildness Percentage, Pawn Handling Skill, and others. More information can be found on the animals page.
