Dear Sri Krishnasw,
Now a days farmers are carrying out agricultural operations by mechanisation, without using of animals like bullocks and he buffaloes and also they are not at all apply any farm yard manure to land thereby destructing the physical structure of the land by adding chemical fertilizers. Even they are leaving the cows in the streets as they are unable to feed them.
Generally temple trusts and other voluntary orgainsations are maintaining Goshala's here and there with the active help of philanthropists and like minded people. some temples are also maintaining the same with their own funds. Individuals who have dedication and love for cow rearing are coming forward for maintaining Goshalas.
All infrastructural facilities are to be arranged such as,
1. cattle shed
2. water troughs
3. Procurement of paddy straw
4. Arrangement for raising fodder crops
5. Trevice for treating the animals
6. Care taker
7. Veterinary services from the Veterinary Department
8.Medicines
9.Maintenance of breeding bulls for improving the progeny of the local breeds etc
10.Maintenance of vermi compost unit for income generation for meeting maintenance expenses of the Goshala.
Some cases here and there the animals were died due to feed poisoning and other reasons and hence one must be vigilant and continuously take care of the animals by taking prophylactic measures against diseases and ailments.
One Sivalayam at Yanamalakuduru near Vijayawada in AP has been maintaining Ongole breed of cows and bulls. Some animal lovers voluntarily coming and supplying fodder and concentrated feeds now then to the animals without insisting by any body.
Kindly take up the same for saving the native animals who have protected the human beings before civilization but now a days humans are neglecting the cows who have supported our forefathers.
Wishing you all the best and requesting the public to help in sustenance of the Goshala
This is only practical observation.
