Himachal Pradesh governor Acharya Dev Vrat has said that the milk of foreign cows like Holstein Friesian and Jersey was harmful for humans as it causes aggression and high blood pressure. He advised students to use ‘desi’ cows’ milk for good health. Vrat, who has over 300 cows at his 200-acre farm at his native village in Haryana’s Kuruskhetra, shared information about a zero-budget, highly productive indigenous manure, ‘Jeev Amrit’, using cow dung and urine of desi cows. He hailed CM Yogi Adityanath for taking steps for the conservation of cows in Uttar Pradesh. “Research conducted at my direction in three agricultural universities in Hisar, Kuruskhetra and Naini, revealed the surprising fact that one gram of desi cow’s dung contains between two lakh crore to five lakh crore fertility-boosting micro-organisms as against 60 to 70 lakh micro-organisms found in one gram of foreign cow’s dung,” Vrat said.
