Improving health & productivity of Cows - Prepartum postpartum care in Vedas

      संवत्सरीणं पय उस्रियायास्तस्य माशीद्यातुधानो नृचक्ष: ।
पीयूषमग्न्ने  यतमस्तितृप्सात् तं प्रत्यञ्चमर्चिषा विध्य मर्मन् ।। RV10.87.17,AV8.3.17

जो लोग अमानवीय ढंग  से गौ का दोहन साल भर  करते  हैं, (गर्भ मे पल रहे बच्चे भ्रूण के पोषण  का ध्यान नहीं करते) जो पीयूष( आरम्भ के दूध)  का नवजात बछड़े को पिलाने अथवा अग्नीहोत्र  में    का प्रयोग नहीं करते और उस का  स्वयं की तृप्ति के लिए उपयोग करते हैं ऐसे प्रतिकूल चलने वालों के  (अर्चिषा मर्मन्‌ विध्य) मर्म स्थलों को ज्ञान की ज्वालाओं  से बींध दो (उत्तम प्रभावशाली शिक्षा के उपदेश से उन की भावनाओं को जगाओ ) |

Ignortant greedy people induge in milking a cow all the year and ignore the requirements of nutrition by the  fetus growing in cow’s womb. People also do not feed the newborn with colostrums and use the colostrums for their own use. Such people require to be educated to sensitize them towards the importance taking care of  Fetus and newborn by providing better nutrition for future of good cows.  

( In modern Dairy practice, newborns are raised on synthetic ‘milk replacers’. While bovine   Colostrums are  utilized by pharmaceutical industries in multiple preparations : “People originally got interested in bovine colostrum because of the high antibody levels. They thought that the antibodies might prevent intestinal infections in people, but they seem to be wrong.

Some athletes use bovine colostrum to burn fat, build lean muscle, increase stamina and vitality, and improve athletic performance. Bovine colostrum is not on the banned drug list of the International Olympic Committee.

Bovine colostrum is also used for boosting the immune system, healing injuries, repairing nervous system damage, improving mood and sense of well being, slowing and reversing aging, and as an agent for killing bacteria and fungus.

Bovine colostrum is used in the rectum to treat inflammation of the colon (colitis).

Researchers have created a special type of bovine colostrum called “hyperimmune bovine colostrum.” This special colostrum is produced by cows that have received vaccinations against specific disease-causing organisms. The vaccinations cause the cows to develop antibodies to fight those specific organisms. The antibodies pass into the colostrum. Hyperimmune bovine colostrum has been used in clinical trials for treating AIDS-related diarrhea, diarrhea associated with graft versus host disease following bone marrow transplant, and rotavirus diarrhea in children”.)
