Field notes
The centre says farmers bring in cows that can no longer work fields or provide milk because of age or injury; a full-time cow keeper manages their care. When a cow dies naturally, the site describes removing its skin before leaving the carcass for vultures. The page also links to research on breeding behaviour, habitat, population viability, and conservation perspectives, alongside its own explanation of the diclofenac problem.
