Abstract :
This article investigates the biological effects and potential health hazards to pregant dairy heifers from exposure to extremely-low-frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields, in the 50/60 Hz range, particularly those associated with transmission lines. It was found that the EMF exposed cattles gained weight.
