When I say loud and clear to my relatives, friends and colleagues that whatever they drink from dairy, is not just useless but overburden for digestive track, they laugh on me.

When I say them that in Veda, it is said that, गौ must be taken care, they call me fanatic.

When I say them that, there is direct relation between how we take care of  गौ माता and her prasad (milk, urine, dung), they consider it as blind belief.

In this paper, same thing it uttered in their own so called scientific language.

Elevation of circulating serotonin improves calcium dynamics in the peripartum dairy cow

What is serotonin?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin

Daily infusions with a chemical commonly associated with feelings of happiness were shown to increase calcium levels in the blood of Holstein cows and the milk of Jersey cows that had just given birth. The results, published in the Journal of Endocrinology, could lead to a better understanding of how to improve the health of dairy cows, and keep the milk flowing.

Demand is high for milk rich in calcium: there is more calcium in the human body than any other mineral, and in the West dairy products such as milk, cheese and yoghurt are primary sources of calcium. But this demand can take its toll on milk-producing cows: roughly 5-10% of the North American dairy cow population suffers from hypocalcaemia – in which calcium levels are low. The risk of this disease is particularly high immediately before and after cows give birth.

Hypocalcaemia is considered a major health event in the life of a cow. It is associated with immunological and digestive problems, decreased pregnancy rates and longer intervals between pregnancies. These all pose a problem for dairy farmers, whose profitability depends upon regular pregnancies and a high-yield of calcium-rich milk.

Now, when I read such research paper, I feel sick for the sheer reason that reductionist science only focus on physical aspects of well-being. And they test this by injecting love hormone. And the motive is nothing but to increase the good quality milk.

If you really take care of mother by loving her, worshiping her and providing her clean place to live, clean water to drink and enough freedom to graze pasture lands, she is naturally happy! And the result is observed, not only in her milk but also in her urine and dung! We really don’t need serotonin injections to treat her. That is greedy and short-sighted solution to increase the calcium. What is the use of calcium when there is no prana? Prana is nurtured by the love relations. You as a son and she as a mother.

Here is the description of Gau shala in Veda.

सं वो गोष्ठेन सुषदा सं रय्या सं सुभूत्या |
अहर्जातस्य यन् नाम तेना वः सं सृजामसि ||1||
सं वः सृजत्व् अर्यमा सं पूषा सं बृहस्पतिः |
सम् इन्द्रो यो धनंजयो मयि पुष्यत यद् वसु ||2||
संजग्माना अबिभ्युषीर् अस्मिन् गोष्ठे करीषिणीः |
बिभ्रतीः सोम्यं मध्व् अनमीवा उपेतन ||3||
इहैव गाव एतनेहो शकेव पुष्यत |
इहैवोत प्र जायध्वं मयि संज्ञानम् अस्तु वः ||4||
शिवो वो गोष्ठो भवतु शारिशाकेव पुष्यत |
इहैवोत प्र जायध्वं मया वः सं सृजामसि ||5||
मया गावो गोपतिना सचध्वम् अयं वो गोष्ठ इह पोषयिष्णुः |
रायस् पोषेण बहुला भवन्तीर् जीवा जीवन्तीर् उप वः सदेम ||6||
