Poland | Bodzentyn | Cattle market

Today few Vet Inspectors and Road Police (ITD) inspect the market in Bodzentyn. They check carefully trucks transporting livestock. About half past 6 our teamobserves a cow (PL005166711708) lying down just after being unloaded. Market vet orders to water her and give her some rest. Even though the cow eats and drinks, she isn’t able to get up on her feet. The vet gives her a drip of glucose and calcium. It doesn’t help either so vet and market staff decided to leave her at the market with food and water. To protect cow against hypothermia, she was covered by heat-insulating foil. The owner is obligated to inspect his animal few times during the night, our team does the same. In the morning cow seems weaker and isn’t able to stand up. The vet inspection from Kielce decides to euthanize the cow.
