Udderly delicious: Indian cow milk the best in world
Indian cows are better than their bovine counterparts abroad in terms of quality of milk, lifespan, fat content, and overall health, according to an expert.
"An Indian cow is a self-harvester unlike German, Canadian or Australian cows,": Dr Ilse, an environment activist from Germany, said here on Tuesday.
According to Dr Ilse, an Indian cow falls prey to health complications like mastitis (infection in the udder) and metabolism sickness on fewer occasions during its average lifespan of 13 to 15 years.
It also produces a calf every year, unlike cows aboard whose life span is only five or six years and produce, on an average, three or four calves in those years, the activist said.
“Though Indian cows do not produce a very large quantity of milk every day, unlike foreign cows, their quality of milk is better than foreign ones. They also continue to produce milk throughout their life,” Dr Ilse said.
