Traditionally, the Indian economy was woven around cattle. Cows provided milk, bullocks enabled farming and transportation, and cow dung and urine benefited agriculture, fuel, health and nutrition. However, mechanized farming promotes over-tillage, requires huge capital investments in equipment, fertilizers and transportation, and increases costs for farmers. In contrast, cattle-based farming is more sustainable, decentralized and cost-effective for small farmers through natural manure, draft power, and local consumption and transport.

1. Cow Based Economy

2. Introduction
• Traditionally basic fiber of the Indian Economy has been woven
around the cow, carrying on farming and transport with bullocks
and obtaining nourishing food from cow.
• "Why the cow was selected for apotheosis is obvious to me. The
cow was, in India, the best companion. Not only did she give milk,
but she also made agriculture possible. products coming from a
living cow are thus considered pure and purifying for those who
use them. - Mahatma Gandhi
• In 1940’s it was calculated that through its milk, bullocks, manure,
hide and bone, the contribution of the cow to the wealth of India
was over Rs. 1,000/- crores annually, an amount which no other
industry in India except agriculture could equal. Gandhiji
therefore established Go Seva Sangh (association for looking
after the cow ) to devote its attention on a countrywide scale to
the improvement of the condition of cattle in India. Was Gandhiji
wrong then to draw our attention to this most important national
industry, and to show us the way to make it yield better results ?
• Indian rural life heavily depends on cattle for both happiness and
economy, hence our objective of this course is to bring forward

6. Tractor Farming Fantasy
• 1987 Study – The secular cow economy – Mr. V M
Vasu
We have nearly 40 crore acres under the crop. To
switch this area over to mechanized farming, we shall
need 5 million tractors against which we have today
only a meagre 31000. To make these tractors we will
need 30 mln tons of steel and our annual production
of steel is 4.5 mln. tons. And as we have during the last
20 years made 12000 locomotives, 0.6 mln trucks and
automobiles, what a long span of time shall we need to
make the needed five million tractors?
And from where the capital estimated to be Rs. 14000
crores has to be raised. The annual depreciation of Rs.
1400 crores apart from the required spare parts (capital
and steel for these) and the astronomical diesel
consumption needs to be accounted for to get the
complete picture of the Tractor Farming Fantasy.

7. Manure Analysis
Reported on a wet basis
%Nitrogen = 0.35
%NH4-N = 0.17
%Phos = .07 x 2.3 = .17 %P2O5
%Potassium = .36 x 1.2 = .43% K2O
%H2O = 91.1

1000 gallons of this manure contains:
• 28 lbs total N (TKN)
• 14 lbs organic Nitrogen
• 14 pounds NH4-N
• 13 pounds P2O5
• 34 pounds K20

8. Cow dung Manure
• A scientist in New Zealand had established on the
basis of Indian scriptures that cow horns filled with
cow dung and buried on a specific date and taken
out on another specific date could fertilize an entire
acre without any other input.
• manure applications improve soil tilth, aeration and
water holding capacity
• decrease soil erosion potential and promote
beneficial organisms

9. Importance of Cow in Agriculture
• While ploughing, the oxen stride with gentle gait, not harming the surface of the
earth, unlike tractors.
• Even as they plough the land, the oxen defecate and urinate, fertilizing the
land.
• Cattle Manure : organic manure, green leaf manure, earth-worms, and
slurry manure with cattle manure bond with the nature and make the land
fertile. They do not create the challenge of chemical waste.
• 99% of the insects in nature are beneficial to the system. Insecticides prepared
from cow urine or well fermented butter milk do not affect these helpful
insects.
• Dung from one cow is adequate to fertilize 5 acres of land and its urine can
protect 10 acres of crop from insects.
• 20-25 kgs of bio-fertilizer can be produced from one kg of cow
dung by mixing it with biomass.
• The application of Urine resulted in a marked increase of grass growth
and this did not effect soil quality.

10. Case Study-1
• A plot was ploughed seven inches deep by the tractor
implement i.e. by the soil inverting plough followed by the
cultivator and the harrow. Another similar plot was ploughed
to a depth of four to five inches with the bullock plough called
‘Victory’ and supplemented with the local country plough. The
above experiments were continued for a period of six years
with these implements. It was found that with the tractor
implements i.e. with plough, cultivator and disc, the average
yield of wheat throughout this period was 10.98 maunds per
acre, while with the ‘Victory’ cum country plough the
corresponding average yield was 12.65 maunds per acre. In
these experiments the manuring and other cultural treatments
were the same for all the plots. This experiment clearly
brought out that the deep ploughing of the tractor is harmful
for wheat cultivation. The tractor cultivation tends to pulverise
the soil too much. This encourages its packing after irrigation
or a shower of rains. The air moisture relationship is thus
disturbed with the result that the crop suffers.

11. Case Study - 2
• Similar plots were taken. One of the plots was ploughed 9-10
inches deep with tractor soil inversion plough in the first instance
and followed by normal cultivation with tractor implements to
achieve a suitable seed bed for two crops, (1) Maize in kharif
and (2) Wheat in Rabi. The Second plot was ploughed five
inches deep with soil inverting plough drawn by bullocks
followed by normal cultivation with the local country plough.
• A third plot was ploughed up to 4-5 inches deep with the local
country plough without inversion throughout the season and the
fourth plot was ploughed by tractor discs to depth of about four
inches. It was found that the deep ploughing with tractor gave an
average yield of 37.44 maunds per acre of wheat while the
shallow ploughing with tractor gave an average yield of 37.16
mds. per acre of wheat. The highest yield was 40.23 mds. per
acre when only the country plough was used. The use of bullock
soil inverting plough followed by local country. plough gave a
yield of 39.97 mds. per acre. All the four plots were treated in the
same way as regards manures and other things. Thus we note
that the deep as well as shallow ploughing with tractor gives
comparatively low yields while the highest yield is given by the
country plough.

12. Fertilizer and Farmers
• 1987 - The secular cow economy – Mr. V M Vasu
Our 400 mln. acres under agriculture will need
(every season) 40 mln. tons of fertilizer. To produce
these 40 mln. tons of fertilizers annually, how many
billions of rupees will be needed? One fertilizer
factory established in 1946 with a capital of Rs. 7
crores is manufacturing about 2,75.000 tons of
fertilizers annually. On this basis, capital
requirements to meet our 40 mln. tons needs may
be estimated. Further, the use of these fertilizer
costs Rs. 90 per acre while the food grain produce
attained is only 15 mds. meaning an additional
expense of Rs. 6.00 per md. of food grain. And by
these fertilizers the agriculture is extra-burdened by
As. 36,000 min. Can the farmer bear the burden?

13. Transport - Quantitative
• Good transport statistics.
• Transport by rails
• Transport by trucks
• Bullocks
• The cost impact of using the mechanized transport.
• Some analysis on decentralized approach. Where
the food is grown and consumed locally or
transported to nearby towns and cities only using
non-mechanized means like bullocks.

14. Irrigation
• Irrigation by huge dams is a folly. Wells are the only answer. But are we
to fit
pumps to these wells? If use pumps, we would need 100 mln. engines
and 20 min. engine rooms. These engine rooms would eat away fully
our entire years cement production as also iron sheets and steel in huge
tonnage. And we are miserably short of all these commodities. Moreover
all these costs would be on farm produce. Now if we propose to use
bullock-drawn Kosh (leather water lifters) for water drawing, no extra
costs are added. The bullock will plough and irrigate the land, carry
loads and give manure. Mechanized farming involving tractors, motors
and pumps, fertilizers and trucks for transport would add very heavily to
the costs so that the farmer will never be able to sell his products below
the present prices and people can never hope for a relieved and easy
life.

15. Importance of bullocks in transport
• 1987 - The secular cow economy – Mr. V M Vasu
Agriculture and industrial production aggregates to
more than 1,000 mln. tons. This 1,000 mln. tons of
commodities have to be transported from fields to
factories and from factories to the consuming centres
which are spread over this vast areas, and the major
bulk of this transport is carried by the bullock. For
transport we have 1.21 min. bullock-carts, 3,58,000
railway wagons and 2,20,000 motor trucks. Obviously, if
these 12.1 mln. bullock-carts were to be removed from
the operation, our transport and distribution system, and
as a result both agriculture and industries and the
resultant national life, would be in a chaos, for the
reason that the railway carries only 180 mln. tons and
trucks only 120 min. tons. whereas the balance 70 per
cent, or 700 mln. tons, is carried by the age old bullock-
carts

16. Nourishment - Quantitatives
• Panchagavya : five cow products viz. milk, curd,
ghee, urine and dung.
• pure ghee is socialism, while, vegetable ghee is
capitalism
• Per person milk consumption Vs requirement statistics.
• Statistics of milk, and milk products production.
• Ghee Vs vegetable oil economics.
• Statistics or analysis of oil produced locally through oil-
Ghani’s and consumed locally.
• Health index of milk and milk product consumption Vs
physical well being.
• Cow has been treated as auspicious and also a symbol
of compassion and piousness.

17. Cow dung pesticide
Report on Kamadhenu bio-pesticide (Study done by Dr.T.P.
Rajendran, CICR).
 There was significant reduction in the pink bollworm
incidence in plots treated with Kamdhenu bio-pesticide.
 Strong reduction of egg laying of American bollworm moths.
Study of plant growth promoting effect of bio-pesticide (work
done by Dr.C.S.Nautiyal et al, NBRI, Lucknow)
• Study showed significant increase in the shoot length, root
length and plant biomass, which is an indication of the
excellent plant growth promoting effect of bio-pesticide
treatment on the growth of maize.

18. Why our social and economic life is
disorganized?
• 1987 - The secular cow economy – Mr. V M Vasu
Per capita milk consumption in America is 5 lbs. while in
Britain it is 2½ lbs. The British Medical Council has prescribed
minimum two and a half pounds of milk per man for him to
keep physically fit. Provision of two and a half pounds of milk
per capital four our people, would need 1250 m.lbs. of milk
per day. To obtain this quantity of milk we would need 62.5m.
milk cows and an equal number for dry period replacements
averaging 20 lbs per cow. However against our need of 125
m. cows we have today 54 m. cows and 49 m. heifers. Most
of the 54 m. cows give less than 3 lbs. milk a day and
possibly less in the case of about 80% of the cows. Because
of this reason along their slaughter is unwarranted; and if they
are slaughtered the entire social and economic life of the
country would be disorganized and in a mess.
If these 40 m. cows are slaughtered, then crores of Rupees
worth milk powder and condensed milk shall have to be
imported annually for our children, pregnant women and the
sick only. Higher prices may be demanded in our such dire
need and moreover we shall yearly lose 65 m. tons of cow
dung. A life of 15 years for such cows would result in a loss

19. Ghee Vs Vegetable Oil
• 1987 - The secular cow economy – Mr. V M Vasu
Instead of pure ghee, if we were to provide Vanaspati ghee the
requirement would be 255 mln. ounces or 6975 tons per day.
Today we produce 1000 tons. (Here we do not propose to go
into its demerits on human health and consider it only from its
economic aspects). Our dehusked groundnut production is 4
min. tons which quantity if fully crushed would give 1 .6 mln.
tons of oil. (Of course we do not crush entire production of
groundnut). To get this daily production of 1000 tons of
vegetable ghee we use 375000 tons of the oil annually. To get
daily 6975 tons of vanaspati we would need 2.6 mln. tons of oil
annually. For this purpose only 9.7 min. tons of groundnut will
have to be harvested and the area under groundnut crop will
have to be increased six times. The result would be so much
less acreage for food grains. The loss of food grains on account
of this six fold acreage under groundnut would be of such a
magnitude that the deficit cannot be made up with any large
scale means of whatever nature. Then again the transport
problem arise. These 9.7 mln. tons of ground have to be
transported from fields to oil mills and more than two and a half

20. Health
• Cow Provides Emotional stability
• Panchgavya is said to be a cure for all diseases.
• Mid wives in Indian villages had been using cow dung fomentation to
pregnant women, small babies and women who had just delivered babies.
• Cow urine and dung was always pure, toxin destroyer, germicide, balances
bile, mucous and air (kapha, vata, pitta),
• Cow milk has amino acids which makes its protein easily digestible and is
good for kidney
• rich source of Vitamins like B2, B3 and A which help increasing immunity
• help in reducing acidity, chances of peptic ulcer, breast and skin cancer,
formation of serum cholesterol, check obesity
• Control diabetes but has good sugar for diabetic patients
• one of the best natural anti-oxidants.
• Cow urine contains many minerals especially Copper, gold salts, etc. It
compensates for bodily mineral deficiency.
• Cow urine is called medhya and hradya, which means it, gives strength
to brain and heart.
• protects heart and brain from damages caused by mental tension and
protects these organs from disorders and diseases.

distillate in an amount effective to enhance antimicrobial effect of the
antibiotic is disclosed. The antibiotic can be an antifungal agent. The
antibiotic can be a quinolone or a fluoroquinolone. The antifungal agents are
azoles, clotrimazole, mystatin or amphotericin

22. Fuel
• Thoughtless use of wood and coal as fuel has result in depletion
of jungles,; producing water shortage.
• it is unlikely that tractors, petrochemicals and even nuclear
power will ever replace the simple bull and cow
• Fuel through bio-gas from cow dung
• Cow Dung cake burned to provide heat for cooking. And Cow-
dung cake ash becomes a very good fertilizer, also used for
food storage for long duration.
• Indian cattle excrete 700 million tons of manure annually, half
of which is used as fertilizer to maintain the soil. The rest is
burned to provide heat for cooking. It was estimated that cattle
dung provides Indian housewives with the thermal equivalent of
"27 million tons of kerosene, 35 million tons of coal, or 68
million tons of wood."
• Statistics for non-renewable sources saved by using cow dung
as fuel source.
• Energy saved in transportation by bullocks.
• Generation of bio-gas from cow dung and urine is a very simple
cost-effective way of producing energy for lighting as well as
cooking
http://dahd.nic.in/ch6/chap6.htm

23. Fuel
• For 70% population of India in villages, kerosene, gas or electricity is neither
available nor within the villager’s means. Gas, electricity, kerosene and coal are
costly.
• Economic and easily available fuel is cow dung cakes and firewood
• For such fuel requirements we would further need 200 m. cows, and if these
cows were to give us 5 lbs. of milk, a lb. per capital supply can be assured.
• This milk supply would save 5 ounces of food grains per head, annual saving
being 18.55 m. tons. Cow-dung cake ash becomes a very good fertilizer.
• Essarkay Pharmaceuticals Ltd (EPL), has set up a Rs 100-crore project for mass
production of bio-gas from cow dung which would be sufficient to replace the LPG
as cooking gas and CNG as auto fuel to a large extent.
• According to the UP Biogas Research Station, cow dung from one cow in a year
could provide energy worth 225 litres of petrol.

• Cow dung saves 35 million tonnes of
coal, 68 million tonnes of fuel wood. In
other words nearly 140 million trees of 20 –
25 years old would be required to be felled
each year otherwise.
• Now bio-gas is being successfully filled in
cylinders like C.N.G. and vehicles / train is
running with bio-gas as fuel.

25. Environmental Protection
• Suryaketu: Nerve on cow’s back absorbs harmful
radiations and cleanses atmosphere
• India (30 crore cattle) can produce bio gas, that can
save 6.0 crore ton of firewood every year. This would
arrest deforestation to that extent.
• Cow dung has antiseptic, anti radioactive and anti
thermal properties. When we coat the walls and clean
the floors of house with cow dung, it protects the
dwellers.
• In 1984, gas leak in Bhopal killed more than 20,000
people. Those living in houses with cow dung coated
walls were not affected. Atomic power centres in India
and Russia even today use cow dung to shield
radiation.
• When we offer ghee in fire as part of ritualistic
sacrifices, it strengthens the ozone layer and shields the

26. Benefit and usage of cow dung
• By keeping one old cow or bull alive we can protect 6
large trees per annum from felling.
• Dung available from one fully grown cow/ bull is around
5.4 tonnes per annum. so dry dung will be around 5.4. x
0.30 = 1620 kg per annum.
• This is equivalent to 712 kg of dry wood.
• This amount of wood comes from 6 large trees
• In Vedic culture there are 16 samskaras. These samskaras
are ment to put a person in right state of consciousness or
mind.
• In performing all the samskaras actually cow dung is
required.
• 5000 – 6000 cakes can be made from one cow’s dung in a
year
• Cow dung cakes when burned are very good eco

27. Housing
• Rigveda describes five types of houses, in detail. namely,
those of stone, of bricks, of wood and bamboos, of cow-
dung and mud and of tree leaves.
• Cow dung is mixed with water and used as a paste to
make household flooring.
• Cow dung-cum-mud dwellings. more suited to the climate,
necessities, circumstances and most important to the
finances of the people of our country.
• Cement structures :repairs 5 years time while the garmati,
dwellings need a fresh wash with the dung and earth
carried out by the owner involving no monetary expenses
• Analysis regarding how much money have been wasted in
producing, transporting and using cement.
• Any other quantitative information which can be
presented?.

28. Cow: provides solution to housing
problem
• Villagers having lost their independent small trades and professions as a
result of mechanization, to escape from the increasing grip of shortages
created by rationing, zonal restrictions and controls, rush to cities to earn
bread.
• Deprived of any human facilities, their children either succumb to many
sicknesses or, if they survive they add, to the growing anti-social elements.
If this process is not checked in time a large section of such anti-social
roughs will form in the society endangering the very existence of the
cultured and good and the entire Indian culture and religions would face
extinction.
• Choice of housing should be in consideration of time, financial reach of the
people concerned, the circumstances and climate.
• we should adopt the practical and sensible way of providing cow dung-
cum-mud dwellings. more suited to the climate, necessities, circumstances
and most important to the finances of the people of our country. Cement
structures demand repairs in about five years time while the garmati,
dwellings need a fresh wash with the dung and earth carried out by the
owner involving no monetary expenses.

29. Mud-Dung House
• 1987 - The secular cow economy – Mr. V M Vasu
Housing requirements of the country is 9.3 min. in
cities and 56.1 min in the rural area. To provide one
room dwellings to the villages only would need 170
min. tons of cement and our annual cement
production is only 10 min. tons. We cannot wait for
generations to build cement structures. This mud-
dung dwellings would require dung of 6.30 mln.
cows and with this the entire rural housing
requirements can be met and comfortably solved.

30. Fodder
• The difficulty experienced in feeding cows is due to
the fact that our agriculture is industry-oriented and
not food oriented, which means that instead of
meeting human needs, the agricultural priorities are
made to serve industrial needs.
• Example Groundnut oil Vs Til Oil
• Man and Cows food interests are interdependent
and correlated.

31. Groundnut Oil Vs Til Oil
• 1987 - The secular cow economy – Mr. V M Vasu
Groundnut is sown in 2.40 crores of acres, yielding 16 lakh tons of oil. To get,
this 16 lakh tons of oil til sowing needs only 60 lakh acres. But til oil cannot
be converted into vegetable ghee. Therefore, til is neglected by the farmer
because the industrial consumer, the vanaspati ghee manufacturer would not
buy this, as also the farmer is encouraged by the Government to produce
groundnut. In fact til sowing would not only create a surplus of 1 .8 crore
acres of land for foodgrains, amounting to 45 lakh tons of excess food, but
would benefit soil, it not being deteriorated as in the case of groundnut
cultivation. Further, til-oil-cake is the best food for cattle. In India rice
eaters are about 16 crores as against 32 crores of wheat eaters. For this
wheat eating population 8 crores tons of wheat plus a further stock of 3
crores tons for famine and war contingencies, totaling to 11 crores of tons
has to be provided for. To meet this tonnage, 16 crores acres have to be
under wheat (our present land under cultivation cover 40 crore acres). There
is no alternative but to achieve the target. Huge dams and fertilizer factories
have, instead of helping towards this target, actually retarded the progress.
Therefore 16cr. acres should be allotted for wheat sowing only. Of these 32
crores wheat-eaters about 6 crore are Jowar eaters, 3 crore Bajri eaters and
5 crore maize eaters. Now jowar, bajri and maize are kharitf crops while
wheat is a Rabbi crop. Khariff crops will yield 5 crore tons of food grains
alongwith 140 crore tons of kadab (stalks). Immediately on harvesting kharif
crops gadab should be sown yielding 100 cr. tons. This gadab is also a good
fodder and dried gadab is a good fertiliser. The same land can then be
utilised for wheat sowing, yielding 5 crores tons of wheat.

32. DEFENCE
• Decentralized approach
• Self-sufficient and vibrating villages.
• Local produced and local consumed approach.
• Case Studies
• Germany
• Vietnam
• China
• India

33. Ulhasnagar Goshala Visit
Summary
• Not fully self sustainable it is funded by outside
• Income from milk, cow dung and selling other cow
products is not sufficient to bear it’s cost
• Cow food was fully procured from out side
• No cow used to sent slaughter house after
retirement
• Not generating medicines from cow products to
generate income
• Some income was generated by promoting
Goshala as tourist place
• Calf are used to come near the cow by calling their
number at the time of milking the cow
• Inaugurated by His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupad

34. Fodder Misconception
• Man does not get food from where to feed the cow?
• his argument is clearly misleading and false for the fact that men
do not eat grass and cows do not eat rice, dal and chapaties.
• Our food interests are interdependent and correlated.
• The difficulty experienced in feeding cows is due to the fact that
our agriculture is industry-oriented and not food oriented
• 63 crores cows will need 175 crore tons of grass and sowing
jowar and bajri only we get a grass yield in excess of this need.
Further by developing graze fallow lands an additional 100-150
crore tons of grass can be made available. If the people’s need
of one ounce edible oil is met 6.25 crore tons of oil-cake would
be available. Twenty-six Iakh tons of cotton seed is produced,
lakhs of tons of jowar is produced and having procured sufficient
manure and bullock supply for farming our food grain production
would rise threefold. With such huge food production the cattle
fodder does not remain a problem at all. Along with this, because
of superior quality, world markets would willingly pay higher
prices for our food grains.

Free radicals are molecules, which have lost electron. These
free radicals attack the nearest stable molecule and steal the
electron. This is a chain reaction of destruction. They can
attack enzymes, fat, proteins, etc and causes DNA to mutate.
The Oxygen Free radicals (Reactive oxygen species) are
produced due to – Phagocytes, Mitochondria function,
Inflammation, Heavy Exercise,Cigarettes,Smoking,Pollution,
adiation, Chemicals, Drugs, Altered Ozone level, Moulds,
Burned Meat.
They cause mutation of cells. This in turn may predispose for
– Parkinson’s Disease, Alzhimor’s Disease, Cancer,
Sclerosis, Stroke, Stress, Fibrosis, Cataract, Macular
Degeneration, Aging
Cows’ urine prevents the free radicals formation.

61. Anti Cancer properties of cow Urine

The cow Urine Therapy is suggested to poses potent Anti Cancer abilities. The following
properties are in listed as responsible for Anti Cancer Results.
DNA repairing potential : Cow urine efficiently repairs the damaged DNA. Damage of DNA
by chemicals is the major cause for Cancer. This property reduces the spread of malignant
cancers and helps fighting tumor.
Apoptosis inhibition : Lymphocytes under go suicidal tendency due to chemicals.
Lymphocytes are major cells, which fights against cancer cells. Cow urine reduces an
apoptosis of Lymphocytes.
• Antioxidant Property : The volatile fatty acids show antioxidant properties which controls
damage in DNA.
Antimicrobial Activity : Many viruses are causing cancer. These microbes are killed by cow
urine.
Bioenhancing Property : Bioenhancing are substances which promote and augment the
bioactivity or bioavailabilty or uptake of drugs. This will reduce the dosage & duration of
antibiotic therepy and anticancer drugs like Taxol.Taxol is used in MCF-7 (breast cancer
cells).
Anti free radicals : The free radicals cause cell damage thereby inducing tumour cell
