The chemosensory experiences of farm animals involve a stimulus world that we are incapable of appreciating through our own limited olfactory system and nonexistent vomeronasal system. It is obvious that to domestic ruminants as well as their wild counterparts these systems are an important element in day-to-day activities and in social encounters. As we come to learn more about the role of chemosensory analysis by both the olfactory system and the vomeronasal system, we will eventually have the opportunity to utilize such information more effectively to manage the reproduction, growth, and welfare of our domestic livestock species.
农场动物的化学感应体验涉及一个刺激世界，而我们通过自身有限的嗅觉系统和不存在的犁鼻器系统是无法感知这个世界的。显然，对于家养反刍动物及其野生同类而言，这些系统是日常活动和社交互动中的重要元素。随着我们越来越了解嗅觉系统和犁鼻器系统在化学感应分析中的作用，我们最终将有机会更有效地利用这些信息来管理我们家养牲畜的繁殖、生长和福利。
