Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has claimed that Italian scientists have found that 80 per cent of what the cow exhales is oxygen. This comes days after a video was circulated in which Rawat was heard saying that the cow is the only animal that inhales and exhales oxygen. He said the cow’s urine and dung have qualities to preserve good bacteria and kill those harmful to the human body.
Speaking to news agency ANI on Friday, he said several scientists have backed this claim and mentioned Professor R S Chauhan of the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences in Pantnagar. “Italian scientists have also researched on the topic and confirmed that the cow inhales oxygen and there is 80 per cent of oxygen in even what it exhales. An average human being has an aura (electromagnetic field) of 6-7 feet. But the aura of a domestic cow stretches up to nearly 42 feet. It is our belief,” he said.
