The U.S. National Electrical Code has a special section, Article
547, for
livestock confinement buildings. Critters are four foot drive compared
to human two
foot drive. That makes them a lot more susceptible to stray current.
It talks about creating an equipotential plane on the concrete floor.
It takes a lot
or rebar and/or wire mesh. I've read it's similar to that for swimming
pools.
Critters won't drink or dairy cows won't release their milk if getting
shocked.

Cows **** and **** everywhere, the concrete is wet. The water conducts,
not the concrete.

The rebar and wire mesh are down in the concrete below the wet
surface.
How would either help if the concrete didn't conduct the current down to
their
level?
Dairies have to be clean and get inspected from what I've heard.

You think the **** doesn't soak through the concrete?
