Gaushala:
A home for orphaned cows
Coimbatore:
Coimbatore has a home for orphaned cows. The Gaushala
has animals which have been adopted or donated. The
cattle shed currently caters to more than 700 heads
of cattle. "At present we have 10 sheds which are
complete and seven are temporary. We accommodate 724
animals in this Goushala. We provide them with dry
fodder, green fodder and other types of feeds. The
daily expenditure is approximately 30,000 rupees,"
said Daxesh, in-charge of the shed. Besides giving
fodder and nutrient-rich water the shed also has employed
qualified veterinarians to look after the animals.
The cowshed is run by people from the Jain community
who have migrated from Gujarat.
