Save Abandoned Cows from painful death in Gujarat.

Dear Supporter!

Greetings from Jivdaya Charitable Trust

Summer is the hottest time of the year in India especially in Gujarat. Temperature often cross above 44 degree Celsius and scorching heat takes a toll on stray lives. During this time animals find it difficult to cope up with the water requirements of their body and they cannot exactly justify their water needs unless fed upon. Hundreds of stray animals, as well as birds, die due to the burning heat and lack of access to clean drinking water. It is sad to see several thirsty stray cows desperately drinking dirty water from gutters as they fail to find clean water to drink, which plays an important role with milk production, tissue maintenance, eye development, thermal regulation, mineral homeostasis and body pressures. Daily requirement of drinking water varies from calves to adult milking cows from 9 litres to 115 litres. There are both physical and behavioural signs that can indicate if an animal is dehydrated which include lethargy, tightening of the skin, weight loss and drying of mucous membranes and eyes.Majority of the stray cows are either found fallen on the ground or stuck on one place due to weakness or unconsciousness.Last week Jivdaya Charitable Trust rescued 10 stray cows, majority of the cases were found severe dehydration. They have been treated with fluid therapy and multivitamins.

Dear friends as we all know, we are going through a tough time due to this pandemic situation of Corona virus, everything is paused, animals especially stray and abandoned cows are having a hard time finding food and water for their survival. Our organization is trying hard to resolve the issue and try to reach out as much animals as we can.  As a responsible kind we all should show some mercy toward this beautiful creature of nature and should take little steps to save this speechless in this summer.

Summer tips to save innocent lives:

• Keep a bowlful of clean water in your garden or outside your house
• Use a clay pot or mud bowl to keep the water cool during the summer season.
• Keep food & water both under the shade out of reach of your pets (if you have any).
• Do not trim the trees in your garden or in your neighborhood in the summer season as they provide shade & shelter to animals & birds along with humans.

Dear Friends

Thank you for your support and trust!

We feel obliged to our Donors, for your strong association with our projects to continue the work without the support of which it would have been an impossible task. We invite people to support us, donate, and be a part of an amazing community who aims at helping the animals and their welfare.

We are happy to present the Progress Report of our project and like to thank all our donors for their continuous support. Animals and people have co-existed for thousands of years, with animals playing a vital role in natural ecosystems and communities across the globe. Despite the strong relationship people have with animals, many stray, abandoned cattles suffer from poor welfare in many urban and rural belt. In both the urban slums and rural areas people shelter the cattles mainly for milk production and other economical purpose. They are practicing the ancient method for providing food and health hygiene to those innocent animals. They treated them as a machine of production not as a pet or companion with minimum requirement of nutrition and supplements. So when the cows stop producing milk or get diseased, they quickly abandon them. Keeping the arising problem in mind in livestock sector, Akhil Bharatia Hinsha Nibaran Sangh, Ahmedabad jointly with Jivdaya Charitable Trust, Ahmedabad organized a day free Veterinary health check up and food distribution camp for cattles at Palasana, Ahmedabad. The program was conducted with joint efforts of these two organizations with a view to address in the economically backward people by providing free check up and medicines for their cattles.

Veterinary expert from Jivdaya Charitable Trust Dr. Shashikant Jadav and team were the chief attractions in the camp who successfully managed to examine about 121 animals (Buffalo, goat, horse, camel, and dog) with majority of animals having reproductive/ breeding problems were treated. The camp also became meaningful and successful in giving exposure to a number of diseases and health problems.
