When a water buffalo is thirsty, let it drink its fill; if it is not satisfied, allow it to drink additional water. Administer once daily. At other times when suffering from thirst, one may drink plain water. At dawn, take cow’s milk to consume; it may be raw or cooked as desired.Cows must be between 3 and 7 years old; those with a pure yellow coat are of the highest quality, while those of other colors are of lower quality. The milk should always be given to calves to drink; if the calves refuse to drink it, the milk has become spoiled and is unfit for consumption. Dairy cows must be kept clean and well-cared for; washing, brushing, feeding, and watering must be done according to proper methods, and they must be carefully tended.

Note

Avoid garlic, pork, fish, raw or cold foods, and stale or foul-smelling items.
