In a rare phenomenon, a two-year old cow, yet to conceive, is yielding three litres of milk per day for the past one month at a village in the district.
The cow owned by one Anthony of Chinnupatti near Batlagundu, about 30 km from here, started growing bigger like a pregnant cow one month ago and milk was noticed in its gland, doctor at the local government veterinary centre Prabhu said today.
The veterinarian said he was surprised to find milk in the gland and suggested to the owner to milk the cow.
"I told him to milk the cow. Had the cow not been milked, it could have led to health problem," he said.
He attributed hormonal changes in the cow for yielding milk even without delivering a calf.
Prabhu said even the womb of the cow was yet to fully develop.
