Forone thing, Cow is declared sacred and is accepted that way. For the next,nothing is unholy with the cow. Its dung or urine also contain medical values.Leave all these aside You see, I have not mentioned Milk and its byproductseven the bray of a cow in the nights is an indication of an ensuing ill-luck.Many are so keen of the brays they even leave their houses in the night .Theyprove to be true Q2 Why is cow dung considered pure?

That’s why their milk was considered next to mothers milk.***But today, thecows are fed with cattle feed containing harmfull items My note- I do not think thestatement is 100% correct with respect to India. Most house holds feed cow withquality food items. Q8 What is the SIGNIFICANCE OF PANCHAGAVYAM ? A8 This iscalled "King of Abhisheka Dravyam". As the spark of fire destroyswoods, Panchagavyam has the effect to burn away human sins. Panchagavyam isderived from five different cows with five different substances.

Cows should never be given unto those whose residence they are likelyto suffer from fire or sun. Cows should always be given away accompanied bytheir calves. A cowmust never be given to a tiller of soil. Only a bovine bull may be given to atiller of soil but never a cow. Q10 Do cows have some similar genes like humans? A10 yes.Just recently in the year 2000 the publication Scientific America reported acomplete Cow Human Genome comparison had been completed. Among the 768 genes onthe cattle RH map, 687 genes or 89.5% had putative human orthologs. Among the 687 mapped genes, 548 genes hadhuman GB4 RH mapping information. 22 were mapped exclusively on the G3 panel and 68 hadhuman cytogenetic assignments exclusively. All cowchromosomes with the possible exception of BTA9 and BTA23 have centromererepositioning relative to human chromosomes. Four cattle chromsomes show complete conservation ofsyntegy with their human homologs. Fifteen cattle chromosomes are seen to becomprised of genes found on only one human chromosome. Q11 Why do cows milk similar to mothers milk? A11 Cow milkis the most compatible with human mothers milk then any other species inexistence. This is because the DNA of the cow was specifically constructed tobe harmonious with mammalian human DNA.
