The Cow
The cow has been one of the important domestic animals. She gives us milk, and her calf, when grown up to an ox, helps in our agricultural work. Cow-dung is used as manure and fuel.
It’s milk are very useful for us. We obtain butter, ghee, curds, cheese, etc. from milk. A cow is regarded as ‘mother’ and worshiped by the Hindus.
The cow has a strong and heavy body with four legs. Her body is covered with short hair. She has a pair of horns and a long tail.
Her eyes are big and beautiful. The feet are hoofed and the hoofs are split in the middle.
Cow-milk is very nutritious and easily digestible. This milk can be consumed in many forms. It is also available in powder form and condensed.
Cows have different colours. They are found everywhere in the world. Cow is a holy animal for Hindus.
Cow is very useful for us in many ways. So we should treat them kindly and look after them.
