Oslo, Norway -- Norwegian scientists say they've determined so-called "free-stall" untethered cows in small herds produce less milk than cows tied to their stalls.
The scientists who compared performance and health within the two stall types found tethered cattle have a higher reproductive performance and suffer less teat injuries and metabolic diseases.
The research was in response to a government ban on the construction of new tie-stalls.
Egil Simensen from the Norwegian School of Veterinary Science said he worked with a team of researchers to investigate data on 812 herds of Norwegian Red cattle, 192 of which were kept in tie-stalls.

Stockholm, Sweden -- A Swedish man who spent months attempting to pump milk from his breasts has given up on the failed attempt, his observers said.
Magnus Talib, a member of the editorial team for TV show Aschberg, which has been observing the progress of "Milkman" Ragnar Bengtsson, 26, said the young father's daily three-hour breast pumping failed to produce any milk, The Local reported Tuesday.
"All he got was sore breasts," Talib said of Bengtsson's attempt, which began in September.
However, Talib said Bengtsson has another perk coming from his project -- he is flying to the United States this week to film an appearance on "The Tyra Banks Show."

Sydney, June 30: Skim milk helps people feel full, thanks to its high protein content, lactose sugar and its thickness.
Researchers found that drinking fat free milk in the morning helped increase satiety and led to decreased calorie intake at the next meal, compared to a fruit drink. Those who drank milk ate about 50 fewer calories (or nearly nine percent less food) at lunch.
In the study, 34 overweight but otherwise healthy men and women participated in two testing sessions - one in which they were served about 20 ounces of fat free milk, and one in which they were served the same quantity of a fruit drink (each contributing 250 calories to their breakfast).

Arlington, Va -- The National Milk Producers Federation has warned that dairy farms and farm jobs are at serious risk due to plummeting milk prices producers receive.
The price of milk has dropped 50 percent from a year ago, USA Today reported Wednesday.
The Pennsylvania Center for Dairy Excellence said the state's producers received $11.50 per hundred pounds of milk in February against production costs of $15.50 to $18.50 per hundred pounds.
"If these prices stay low through 2009, there's going to be a lot of producers that don't make it," Walt Moore, a milk producer from West Grove, Pa., told the newspaper.
NMPF spokesman Chris Galen said demand for milk had "really dropped off the cliff in the last quarter of last year."
