A small cow that some in Egypt described as a “miracle” sparked controversy on social media, until veterinarians settled the matter and discovered its shocking truth.
The people of Ezbet Al-Fasula, affiliated with the village of Arimon, in the center of Mahmoudiyah, Beheira Governorate, north of the country, were surprised by a small 4-month-old cow carrying in its belly a small calf that was more than 8 months old, so they described it as a miracle and blessed it.
Zahran Al-Zawawi, the owner of the little cow, told Al Arabiya.net that he owns a livestock farm, and he was surprised by the condition the cow was in, so he showed it to veterinarians, who confirmed that it was carrying a small calf in its stomach, and its due date was approaching, and it needed surgical intervention because its natural bones were not fully developed. .
For their part, professors of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Damanhour University resolved the story and revealed the truth about the cow.
University doctors said that they received information that a farmer had discovered a female cow in the weaning stage, no more than four and a half months old. He claimed that it was a 9-month-old cow, and it showed signs of approaching birth.
Dr. Nabil Bakir, Dean of the University’s College of Veterinary Medicine, confirmed that the citizen’s claim that the cow is a tax collector is incorrect, as it was revealed through examination that it has not yet fully reached sexual maturity, and that the tumor appearing in the udder area is a tumor resulting from the occurrence of a hernia due to weakness in the abdominal muscles in this area. Confirming that this led to the prolapse of the internal viscera into the udder area and the hernia widened with a diameter ranging between approximately 15 to 20 cm.
He stressed that this contradicts the scientific facts that confirm that female cows reach sexual maturity at the age of 12 months, sexual maturity is over 16 months, and the gestation period is 9 and a half months.
