Martin Ott – Kühe verstehen (in German)
Kühe verstehen
Eine neue Partnerschaft beginnt. New edition. 56 colour photos.
How cows communicate, how we can communicate with the cow and, through her, understand the worldMartin Ott has recorded his observations, experiences and thoughts about the cow. In doing so, he speaks to people's deep longing for a more respectful way of living together with farm animals. His texts are like travel guides to an unknown country. Anyone who lets themselves be taken along will discover astonishing things.
Martin Ott is a practitioner and a forward thinker. As a farmer, he is particularly interested in the cow. Close observation leads him to highly independent conclusions that any farmer can put into practice. The result is impressive: if you study the life and communication of cows and allow them a life appropriate to their species, milk yield and animal health increase. Through care and understanding. For all his enthusiastic listeners, specialists as well as radio listeners and film viewers, Martin Ott has recorded his observations, experiences and conclusions.
In their reduction, Philipp Rohner's pictures open up a new level of understanding of the cow. A richly illustrated textbook on present-day questions - for everyone interested in the issues of our time and in respectful coexistence with animals.
